Yesterday, Governor Tom Corbett nominated Kathleen Casey for a position on the Penn State Board of Trustees. Casey will need to be confirmed by the Pennsylvania State Senate before she assumes that role.

Casey, a 1988 graduate of Penn State, is currently a Senior Advisor for Patomak Global Partners. In addition, Casey  serves as Distinguished Policy Fellow at the Center for Financial Markets and Policy at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business. She is also a member of the Library of Congress Trust Fund Board and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Advisory Council.

Prior to her position at Patomak, Casey completed a five year term as a Commissioner of the US Securities and Exchange Commission. She represented the SEC multiple times internationally, including serving on the G-20 Financial Stability Board and the International Organization of Securities Commissions.

Before her days with the SEC, Casey served as Staff Director and Counsel of the U.S. Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee. She graduated with a law degree from George Mason in 1993.
