Pirates Executive to Speak at Pitt-Bradford
For Disability Awareness Month
Chaz Kellem, manager of diversity initiatives for the Pittsburgh Pirates, will speak at a celebration of Disability Awareness Month at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford.
Kellem’s talk, which is free and open to the public, will take place at 5 p.m. Oct. 24 in Harriett B. Wick Chapel. Refreshments will be served.
Kellem manages the Pirates’ interaction with a variety of regional minority communities in order to identify, network, and cultivate positive mutually beneficial relationships with community and business leaders. These communities include African Americans, Latinos, Asians, persons with disabilities, and the underserved and uninsured. His focus is to develop and engage the minority communities in sales, community and business opportunities that will increase minority participation within the Pirates organization.
Kellem graduated from Edinboro University with a degree in sports administration. While at Edinboro, he served as the vice president of student government and worked with young students for three years in residence life.
In his spare time, he serves on several nonprofit boards, including the Edinboro Alumni Board, Consumer Health Coalition, UCP Pittsburgh and the Pennsylvania Youth Leadership Network. He also serves on state and city committees for the governor and mayor.
In addition to his dedication to the region, Kellem also has a passion for adapted sports. He is the coach for a wheelchair basketball team and also plays second base for Pittsburgh’s only wheelchair competitive softball team.
At birth Kellum was diagnosed with a rare bone disorder, osteogenesis imperfecta, which causes the bones to break easily.
The talk is sponsored by Active Minds, the Office of Community Engagement, the Office of Disability Resources and Services, the Division of Management and Education and the Office of the Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs/Registrar.
