Pittsburgh, PA -- (April 15, 2026) -- Pittsburgh Region Clean Cities (PRCC) is pleased to announce that it has appointed Lisa Iadicicco as the organization’s next Executive Director. As a U.S. Department of Energy-designated Clean Cities and Communities coalition, PRCC supports Western Pennsylvania’s transition away from petroleum to cleaner, alternative fuels.
“We are thrilled to have a dynamic and experienced leader like Lisa guide Pittsburgh Region Clean Cities through its next era,” said Pittsburgh Region Clean Cities Board Chair William Sapon. “We are confident that her strong community focus and proven ability to grow mission-driven organizations will help advance clean transportation solutions in our region.”
Iadicicco brings more than 20 years of senior leadership experience in nonprofit management, fundraising, strategic planning, and partnership development. Most recently, she served as Executive Director of Hope Grows, where she expanded and diversified funding streams and strengthened programming for family caregivers. Previously, she led the national nonprofit Women In Bio, growing its membership, national reach, and enhancing its financial sustainability.
“I’m delighted to join Pittsburgh Region Clean Cities at such a pivotal time for clean transportation,” said Iadicicco. “I look forward to building on PRCC’s strong foundation as a convenor and provider of technical expertise on alternative fuels in Western Pennsylvania and continue to expand our services.”
Iadicicco also brings private-sector and consulting experience, including senior leadership roles with the University of Pittsburgh’s Institute for Entrepreneurial Excellence. Iadicicco has a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Purdue University and has completed the Women’s Entrepreneurship Certification from Chatham University, as well as the TLP Leadership Program.
Iadicicco assumed the Executive Director role in April from Richard Price who retired in January after leading the organization for 15 years. Under his leadership, PRCC strengthened regional partnerships and advanced clean transportation initiatives that positioned the organization for continued growth and impact.
