David Thornburgh assumed the position of Executive Director of the Committee of Seventy in December 2014. The Committee of Seventy is a “community watchdog”, which works hard to see that public officials are doing the right thing. An important part of that is giving clear guidelines to those officials that help them comply with the law and serve the public with honor and effectiveness. The objective is to root out waste, fraud and corruption throughout the entire government.

Prior to taking the helm at the Committee of Seventy, David Thornburgh held the position of Executive Director of the University of Pennsylvania’s Fels Institute of Government. From 1994 until 2006 he served as Executive Director of the Economy League of Greater Philadelphia.
