This month, Devlin won the city’s top job in a landslide victory, vowing to build on her longtime commitment to bettering Erie – including, most recently, as the inaugural director of social impact at the Hamot Health Foundation. She has also worked with the Erie Center for Arts and Technology and helped secure $14 million to resolve a funding crisis in Erie’s public schools.

She previously helped steer AmeriHealth Caritas’ expansion into dozens of new counties, as well as the launch of its Hazleton wellness center and a mobile wellness unit.
IMPACT ICON: Stephen P. Fera
For 35 years, Stephen Fera has brought the community- and service-oriented values instilled by his Jesuit education and his South Philadelphia family to another, larger family – Independence Blue Cross, his hometown health insurance company. Fera joined the organization in 1990, shortly after earning his MBA from St. Joseph’s University, and has risen to become executive vice president for public affairs and president of government markets.
“When you start out, you just want to get a good job,” recalls Fera. “But life works in a certain way … My duties at IBX kept running toward service to the broader community, especially to those in need, as well as folks at the most vulnerable point in their lives, dealing with health issues.”
Fera’s career highlights include opportunities to meet those moments. There was the inauguration of the Children’s Health Insurance Program, which has grown to become a pillar of family healthcare access. And in 2011, he helped launch the IBX
Foundation: “We had done so much in the community, but this allowed us to focus strategically on the investments that we make – and drive real change,” he says.
As healthcare has grown more complex, Fera has become even more inspired by what he describes as his “sophisticated and talented team.” But he also relies on his perspective as a lifelong Philadelphian. “There’s a uniqueness to being from here, knowing what needs to be addressed and who can help,” he reflects. “A core value of mine is being down-to-earth – and not forgetting where you came from.”
Joseph Forkin
The bike and pedestrian paths, nascent greenways, cafés and pop-up skating rinks along Philadelphia’s eastern riverfront are no accident; they’re the result of decades of strategic effort by Joseph Forkin, who for a quarter-century has stewarded economic and recreational development as president of the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation. His tenure has revitalized Penn’s Landing, the once-blighted riverfront, into a destination for both residents and visitors alike. Also a partner in a Port Richmond restaurant, he previously consulted on the revitalization of Northeast Philadelphia.

He is also the board treasurer for Children First and co-chairs a task force on property tax assessment bias for Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker.
IMPACT ICON: Peter M. Grollman
From the time he was a child in Easton, Peter Grollman was determined to follow his parents’ legacy of civic engagement. He studied political science at Penn State, worked for then-Sen. Arlen Specter on Capitol Hill and thought about running for office.
What he didn’t know was that his political career would take him to a hospital. But handling public and community affairs for the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia showed Grollman that elected office wasn’t the only way to make a difference. “The ability to do good things to impact the lives of people – I’ve been able to do that at CHOP,” he says.
It’s that sense of mission that has kept Grollman at CHOP, where he is now senior vice president for external affairs. He holds a master’s of governmental administration and, this fall, is finishing his MBA at Johns Hopkins University, a project that has had him doing homework alongside his two children (now a high school senior and college junior).
Grollman is especially proud of partnering with the city and local organizations on initiatives like a community health and literacy center and grassroots wellness programs. Among the results of CHOP collaborations are 220 renovated homes that have, over the past five years, measurably improved pediatric asthma outcomes. (He’s also an active supporter of the Greater Philadelphia YMCA, Ronald McDonald House and Penn State.)
“At CHOP, our mission is really our due north,” Grollman says. “And as a parent, there’s no better place to be.”

But it’s his latest résumé entry – five-year-old Durapods, a prefabrication outfit – that he’s proudest of, along with championing safety standards for over 1 million employee hours per year – and keeping the outfit’s off-site work at home in Southeastern Pennsylvania.

IMPACT ICON: Brenda Nogales
These days, Brenda Nogales always carries her passport with her. While she laments the political climate that necessitates this, she is more determined than ever to continue her advocacy on behalf of her fellow immigrants – work that has garnered numerous awards and touched the lives of thousands of new Americans.
“I worry, but I still believe in this city,” says Nogales, the program manager for crisis and humanitarian response at HIAS Pennsylvania, the 130-year-old immigration advocacy organization.
Her own journey began with a strict Catholic upbringing in Cochabamba, where her grandparents raised her with a focus on education. “My grandmother was only sent to school for a couple of years; she could barely read and write,” recalls Nogales. “But she wanted to break that cycle for women in our family.”
Initially drawn to the law to combat poverty in her homeland, Nogales had the opportunity to further her studies at Temple University, earning a master’s in laws and permanent residency.
She soon realized that even in the world’s richest country, people still struggled. With the Nationalities Service Center, Nogales helped launch the Survivor Services Program, which received the iPledge Award from Women Against Abuse for its groundbreaking work on behalf of immigrant crime victims.
At HIAS Pennsylvania, she has coordinated legal services for immigrants arriving in Philadelphia from the U.S.’s Southern border – her work was recognized by the city’s Office of Immigrant Affairs with its 2023 Public Safety–Welcoming Award.
“I’ve had so much privilege,” Nogales reflects. “I want to be able to use that privilege to help make someone else’s journey less challenging.”
