Geoffrey Roche, a member of the corporate faculty at Harrisburg University of Science and Technology, will moderate a panel, Equipping a Culturally-Competent and Inclusive Workforce, on Monday, March 14th, and moderate the panel, Views from the Top – Workforce Strategies & Career Development session, on March 16th.

“This is a critical moment in our global healthcare workforce and to build back better, we must consider ways to develop new pathways between K-12 and higher education. It is also essential that we do this intentionally with an immense focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion,” says Roche.
Roche has volunteered and has been appointed to serve on numerous local, state, and national committees and taskforces, including the Health Equity Task Force of the National Infrastructure for Mitigating the Impact of COVID-19 within Racial and Ethnic Minority Communities (NIMIC) initiative, the Pennsylvania Department of Health Office of Health Equity Advisory Committee, the Lebanon County Economic Recovery Taskforce Leadership Team, and more.
