🎙️ ENGAGED With The League | Episode 2

In Episode 2, we sit down with Crandall O. Jones, ICMA Credentialed Manager, Chief Administrative Officer of Upper Darby Township - Government, for a thoughtful conversation about a career dedicated to local government and public service.

Crandall shares his journey from Georgia to Pennsylvania, the mentors who helped shape his career, and the importance of treating every member of a municipal team with dignity and respect. Having benefited from the guidance of mentors throughout his own career, Crandall sees mentoring the next generation of local government leaders as an important part of his legacy. For him, it is about helping others grow, succeed and find their own path in public service.

We also talk about ethics in public service, professional development, mentorship, and his work with the Association for Pennsylvania Municipal Management (APMM) and the Pennsylvania Local Government Investment Trust (PLGIT).
