The outgoing CEO of the Pennsylvania Convention Center will
be kept on the payroll as a consultant, the center said Wednesday.
Ahmeenah Young, who stepped down as president and CEO on
Dec. 6, will have an 18-month consulting arrangement with the center’s new
private manager, SMG, which took over Dec. 1. She had led the center since June
2008 and oversaw the center’s $786 million expansion.
A source confirmed that Young will be paid $460,000 over the
course of contract.
“This agreement will enable the Center and SMG to continue
to utilize Ahmeenah as a valuable resource and call upon her experience,
talents, and insights during this transitional period with SMG,” Gregory J.
Fox, chairman of the Pennsylvania Convention Center Authority, said. The board
approved the contract.
John J. McNichol, who is vice chairman of the PCCA board,
will serve as acting and unpaid president and CEO until a permanent replacement
can be found. He is a partner in the government relations firm Greenlee and
Associates.
