“It was a great privilege to participate in the Leadership Hanover program alongside other like-minded leaders in the community,” said Ashley. “I look forward to putting everything that I learned to use, to benefit the Hanover clients, team members and community partners that I have the pleasure of working with each day.”

Ashley has over 10 years of public accounting experience and specializes in providing financial statement, tax and consulting services for local governments, nonprofits and closely held businesses.

Ashley graduated from Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania with both a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting and Personal Financial Planning and a Master of Business Administration (MBA). She is also a Certified Information Technology Professional (CITP). This credential identifies professional accountants with the unique ability to provide business insight by leveraging the knowledge of information relationships and supporting technologies.

In addition to her role within Brown Plus, Ashley is also an avid community supporter and volunteer. She serves as President of the New Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce; Treasurer of the Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) of Hanover and Spring Grove; Secretary of the VNA of Hanover and Spring Grove Endowment Funds, Inc.; and Treasurer and Secretary of the Hanover Area Chamber of Commerce.
