The team comprises 28 industry experts and government officials, all \u00a0professionals with knowledge of, and leadership in the sectors in which county government serves \u2013 health and human services, public safety and the courts, community planning and economic development, and administrative services. \u00a0The two main goals set for the team are to improve the quality of the workplace for County employees, and to enhance the services provided to Chester County citizens in efficient and cost-effective ways. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Chester County Commissioners\u2019 Chair Marian Moskowitz said, \u201cWe recognize and appreciate the great programs and services and the great people we have working in County government and that is why the transition team is focused on the goals of improving our County workplace and enhancing services to citizens.\u00a0 It is about exploring and recommending best business practices and ensuring transparency, accountability and fiscal responsibility.\u00a0 We are not asking the team to make any recommendations about personnel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The transition team has set a target of 90 days to conduct its review and make recommendations to the Commissioners. Key tasks outlined for the transition team include identifying issues to be addressed, and soliciting input from stakeholders, county departments and county government employees.<\/p>\n<p>County Commissioner Josh Maxwell added, \u201cAs Commissioners, our job is to listen, work hard and improve our community by active collaboration, and there\u2019s no better way to start than to bring together the \u2018smart minds\u2019 of our transition team.\u00a0 We\u2019re fortunate to have a team that will bring sound advice, broad experience, and investment in our county\u2019s future to the table.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>County Commissioner Michelle Kichline said, \u201cThis transition team is truly independent and will be making its recommendations to us in the coming months.\u00a0 We appreciate the willingness of Dr. Fiorentino, David Thornburgh and the highly qualified team members, who are volunteering their time to take a fresh look at how Chester County does business. We look forward to hearing and reviewing those recommendations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Dr. Christopher Fiorentino, Chair, and David Thornburgh, Vice-Chair, the members of the transition team
