a collection of event companies including JDK Catering, Weddings by JDK, Imagine
Event Design and Essential Party Rentals, and her newest hotel hospitality
division, Métalaye Enterprises. Through her newest endeavor, Jennifer has
taken her founding hospitality principles to manage the entire operation at the
Clarion Hotel and Conference Center in New Cumberland, PA. She extends full
management of hotel room bookings as well as rental of event space. Additionally,
Jennifer has also led the charge to establish a new restaurant concept in York
County dubbed, The Garlic Poet.
Beginning JDK solely as a catering company over twenty-seven years ago,
Jennifer has strategically expanded her business into a hospitality empire. Jennifer

served as president of the International Caterers Association, serves on the Junior
Achievement Regional Council and is a board member on the Central Penn College
Board of Trustees. Jennifer sat on the Board of Directors for numerous non-profit
organizations some of which include: Contact Helpline, Harrisburg Regional

SPEAKER
Ms. Tara J. Hemmer
Tara J. Hemmer is the vice president for Waste Management overseeing their
businesses in Eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York City and Delaware. She
is responsible for the executive management of Waste Management’s network of
operations including waste and recycling collection companies, transfer stations,
landfills, recycling operations, and organics management facilities.
In 1994, Tara graduated from Cornell University with a B.S. in Civil and
Environmental Engineering. She joined Waste Management in 1999 after four
years with two separate consulting engineering firms (ABB Environmental and
TAMS Consultants). Spending time in consulting prepared her for the unique
challenges of working on the “owner” side where Tara was responsible for
project development, specifically the design, engineering, and construction of
several large waste transfer facilities that are now the cornerstone of Waste
Management’s waste by rail infrastructure in their East Coast network.
In 2006, Tara made the transition to the operations side of the company,
directing Waste Management’s recycling operations throughout Pennsylvania.
Continuing to find ways to profitably extract value from the materials Waste
Management collects became a passion of Tara’s and spurred her to find ways
to expand the portfolio of services Waste Management offers their customers.
This included broader expansion of single-stream programs, development of
food waste processing facilities, and expansion of key disposal assets to meet
customer needs. Tara believes truly listening to Waste Management’s customer
base drives shared value for all.
Tara rose to her current role in 2012 and strongly believes Waste
Management’s greatest asset is its people. She has worked to create leadership
development programs for employees in an effort to put Waste Management’s
valuable team members in a position to drive long-term growth and at the same
time meet their own personal development objectives. She also supports the
Waste Management Women’s Professional Network to promote and advance
women leaders within the company.
Tara continues her leadership outside Waste Management through board
work with the Economy League, Third Century Initiative (Greater Philadelphia
Chamber of Commerce), and with the Maternity Care Coalition. She lives in Bucks
County with her husband Joe and her two children. In her free time, she enjoys
biking, swimming and visiting the beach.

Christine Toretti is the former chairman and CEOof the S. W. Jack Drilling Co.,
the largest privately-held land-based drilling company in the United States. She
serves as vice chairman of S&T Bancorp and is a former director of the Pittsburgh
Federal Reserve Bank. Her proven business acumen, and reputation as a business
turn-around expert, make her a much sought-after advisor. A force within her
industry, the Bush administration sought Christine’s input by placing her on the
National Petroleum Council and the U.S. Secretary of Energy’s Advisory Board.
Christine serves on many non-profit boards including the International
Medical Corps, an NGO that has been lauded as the most fiscally efficient in the
world while serving those distressed with distinction. She chaired The Andy
Warhol Museum, was founding director of the Gettysburg Foundation and served
numerous higher education institutions and systems. Christine founded and
chairs the Anne B. Anstine Excellence in Public Service Series in Pennsylvania
and the Dodie Londen Excellence in Public Service Series in Arizona.
Governor Tom Ridge appointed Christine to Pennsylvania’s State System of
Higher Education and adopted a plan she crafted to fund investments in higher
education in new and innovative ways. Governor Mark Schweiker later appointed
her to the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission. President George W. Bush
also appointed her to the Rural Telephone Bank where she served as vice chair.
In 2007, she was elected chair of the Committee of 200, an organization of the
most influential female CEOs in the world. Recently, she was elected to the Board
of Directors of CEO.
If you ask Christine about her life’s priorities, she says they are two-fold.
First, her commitment to her three sons is paramount and compels her to
political activism because of her concern for their future. Second, she has a deep
commitment to women’s causes, in large part, from the challenges she faced in a
totally male-dominated oil and gas industry. She has created an annual retreat
for female corporate leaders from around the globe.
Christine counts her sons as her greatest gifts: Joe (29), Max (26), and
Matthew (24). While they were growing up, she coached their baseball teams and
also challenged them on the ice in hockey. Her interests include the architecture of
Andrea Palladio, the art of the Renaissance, and hiking anywhere in the world.

KEYNOTE
SPEAKER
Mr. John Shegda
John Shegda began his career at M&S Centerless Grinding as its third employee
in 1987, but this wasn’t the intended course for his life. John graduated from
Penn State that year with his sights set on medical school, but felt an obligation
to give the family business a try since his father had put him through college.
Quickly, John realized he had a natural ability for the trade, and thoroughly
enjoyed making things with his hands. John committed to stay with the company
in 1988. By 1990, he was leading it, and has never looked back.
Though not large, the company, under John’s direction, has grown tenfold in the last twenty-five years, and has developed a global presence. M&S
Grinding, once solely a regional specialty manufacturer, now focuses on
solving difficult manufacturing problems in high-tech, high-growth industries
like medical, aerospace, fiber optic, power generation and auto racing for
companies around the world.
Though both the financial and growth aspects of the company have been
important focal points, it is the culture of the company in which John takes the
most pride. Operating under the principle that they are to be a positive impact
on the lives of those they come in contact with, company personnel believe
in, and act on, a set of sixteen core values. Values like, “Seek to Understand”,
“Have Integrity”, or “Take the Leap” guide all decision-making, resulting in an
organization that acts in unison for the benefit of the customer, and ultimately
for society.
John believes in “giving back” and especially to the manufacturing sector
that he believes in deeply. He spends a significant amount of time advocating
for workforce development and changing perceptions about manufacturing.
He is a chapter president of The National Tooling and Machining Association
(NTMA), and sits on the Board of Directors of a number of organizations
focused on advancing the manufacturing industry. He believes strongly in the
energy and brilliance of today’s youth, as well as, the tremendous opportunity
that exists for young people in the field of manufacturing.
The most important, and supportive, relationship in his life is with his
best friend, Patty, his wife of twenty-two years. They have two children, both
college age, and well on their way to making their own mark in the world.
The family lives in suburban Philadelphia.
