In this episode, we sit down with two distinguished leaders who have dedicated their careers to public service and community engagement. Steve Aronson, President and Founder of the Friends of the Ephrata Police Foundation, shares his extensive experience as a community volunteer. Prior to his leadership role at the Foundation, Steve served as Chairman of the Business Recruitment & Retention Committee for Mainspring of Ephrata and was active in various local organizations, including the Ephrata Visitor’s Center, the Ephrata Cloister, and Ladies Lending Paws. A retired National Business Development Manager in the aerospace industry, Steve brings a wealth of knowledge to his volunteer work, focusing on supporting local causes like dog rescue and Toys for Tots.
We’re also joined by Chief Chris McKim, who has served the Ephrata community for over 30 years. Chief McKim, now the permanent Chief of Police, discusses his long career with the Ephrata Police Department, where he has held various leadership positions, including sergeant, lieutenant, and interim chief. With a background as a Field Training Officer, Hostage Negotiator, and Firearms Instructor, Chief McKim brings a wealth of experience and expertise in law enforcement. He also serves on several important committees, including the Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association and the Lancaster County Chiefs of Police Association.
Join us for a compelling conversation about community leadership, public service, and the important work being done to improve and protect Ephrata.
