Glenn NagyDear fellow Whitehall residents,

It has been my honor and pleasure to serve the residents of Whitehall since 1996. During that time, I have chaired all of our various committees and served as Council President. Did you know that Whitehall is one of the very few municipal governments that rotate Council President and Committee Chairs every year?

I have been a resident of the Borough since 1960, graduating from Baldwin High School, Washington and Jefferson College, and the University of Pittsburgh. I am a self-employed insurance adjuster. Some of you may know my wife of 25 years, Pam, as she has taught many of your children at the Baldwin Community Church Preschool. You might also know my son Jay, who has owned a landscaping company since he was in junior high school. Both he and his brother, Grant, are students at Penn State University.

Thank you for allowing me to be so involved in our community. I look forward to serving you for many years.

Regards….Glenn Nagy
