Joe Soprani joined the Fairmount Park Conservancy team in December 2013. Joe has had several roles and responsibilities during his tenure at the Conservancy. In his current role as Senior Government Affairs Administrator, Joe functions as an ambassador for the Conservancy and is responsible for scheduling and building relationships with elected officials and their staff.

Joe has a Finance degree from Drexel University in Philadelphia and has worked in the financial industry first, as a Foreign Exchange Trader at a bank, and then as a Mortgage and High Yield Bond Trader at a mutual fund company, before settling happily in the non-profit world. Joe enjoys reading, playing tennis, and riding his bike down the Jersey Shore. One of his fondest childhood memories in a park, besides catching minnows in the creek, was learning to play tennis at Morris Park in the Overbrook section of Philadelphia. He now loves playing at the different tennis courts in Philly’s parks, including Chamounix Tennis Courts in Fairmount Park.
