We have come to the end of an era here at PCB!

The PCB Board of Directors and team members would like to announce that Executive Director, Mary Jo Mather and Assistant Director Terri Wray have decided to retire.  Mary Jo has dedicated over 40 years to public protection by establishing and monitoring certification standards for professionals in the behavioral, physical, and community health fields. Not long after Mary Jo began her adventure, she hired Terri Wray (now having 35 years of service in) to continue and strengthen the work. Not only has Mary Jo and Terri provided amazing leadership in Pennsylvania but also grew the organization to provide oversight of certification processes in the states of Delaware, Rhode Island, and Virginia.  But their legacy doesn’t end there, for a number of years, these miraculous ladies also took on the task of providing leadership to The International Certification and Reciprocity Consortium (IC&RC).

So please help us take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for their years of dedication and leadership. Their legacy will forever inspire us to continue their work. We wish Mary Jo and Terri the very best as they enter into a well-deserved time of relaxation and adventures ahead!

PCB would like to introduce the next Executive Director, Treasure Gallagher. Treasure started with PCB in March of 2025 and is excited to work for a non-profit agency with such an important mission of public safety and a team that is so grounded in hard work and dedication.  Treasure was so excited to join the team that she decided to retire from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania after 22 ½ years of service where she held a variety of policy and leadership positions in the areas of the Office of Income Maintenance, Office of Children, Youth and Families, and most recently the Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (OMHSAS). Most recently Treasure led the mental health peer support services program for PA when she was working with OMHSAS and where she began her understanding, appreciation, and positive relationships with the PCB Team. Treasure is thankful for all of the support and patience from everyone since her arrival and as she learns the new role. She looks forward to the new challenge and meeting everyone as they move forward.

As the team has been preparing for the retirement of Mary Jo and Terri, the senior staff Deb, and Anisha have helped to welcome and guide new team members. Allow us to introduce the current team members:
