“Ron has a great background and anyone who has worked with him knows he has a first-hand understanding of how things get done in the Capitol,” Wells said. “Ron has been a major force on behalf of the governor and DCED so he brings an entirely new dimension to the table. We’re thrilled he has agreed to join our team.”
While at DCED, Boston participated with Gov. Rendell’s team and the four caucuses in the development of the governor’s $2.3 billion economic stimulus package. He also served as the Department’s liaison to the newly-created Commonwealth Finance Authority.

There are so many new initiatives and programs that have been launched to build entirely new industries in this state and Ron has been there from the outset,” said Peter Yaffe, Triad’s senior vice president for government affairs. “Ron will be a great asset for our clients moving forward.”
Prior to joining DCED, Boston worked for a decade on the Hill, most recently as Executive Director of the Northeast Democratic Delegation for the House of Representatives.

He also staffed Committee meetings in Harrisburg and Northeastern PA; and monitored funding opportunities for delegation members. He also worked as a Research Analyst for the House Democratic Caucus.
