Government Relations of the Philadelphia Zoo for 25 years.

responsible for managing the implementation of strategic projects, such 
as the Zoo Balloon and the recently completed Centennial District 
Intermodal Transportation Center (IMTC).
  For the past 35 years, Kenneth has held several senior management 
positions in government, banking, and the not-for-profit housing 
sector. Prior to joining the Philadelphia Zoo, he served as 
Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner of the Philadelphia Department of 
License and Inspections and has also served as a senior manager of 
Philadelphia Housing Development Corporations' Home Improvement 
Program.
  In addition to his position at the Philadelphia Zoo, Kenneth is an 
ordained Baptist preacher and serves as an Associate Minister and 
Executive Minister to the Pastor at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church in 
Philadelphia, PA.
  As evidenced through Kenneth Woodson's experience, he has dedicated 
his life and career towards serving the citizens of the City of 
Philadelphia. The 2nd Congressional District of Pennsylvania extends 
gratitude to Kenneth Woodson for his dedicated support to the 
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
