Copeland was sworn in as the Mayor of Bridgeville, PA, on January 2, 2018 as the first African American and first woman mayor in the history of Bridgeville. Betty’s volunteer life is centered on the theme of “servant leader” and she is dedicated to Martin Luther King, Jr.’s concept of the “Beloved Community.” The election victory was the direct result of building a long-term record of community service with many of the Borough’s major civic and public institutions.

Her dedication and quality of work gained notice and she has won multiple Community Service awards from the Rotary, Mayview, the Chartiers Mental Health and Mental Retardation Center, the Chamber of Commerce and Deaconess at First Baptist Church among others. Her entire body of volunteer service was honored by a declaration on her birthday in 2014 by the previous mayor making it “Betty Copeland Day” in Bridgeville.
Mayor Copeland was born in Boston, MA, in 1934, married to Curtis D. Copeland, Sr. for 64 years and shared his commitment with Betty, which influenced her BRIDGEVILLE service pledge. She is a mother to three children and four grandchildren. As Mayor, Betty will focus on encouraging Bridgeville citizens to become more involved in Mayor Betty L.

PA_AFRICAN_AM_MAYORS_2020_CALENDAR.indd 7 12/23/19 6:19 PM Chardaé Jones is from Braddock, PA and grew in up in The Braddock Library where she received her library card before she could scribble her name. In 2011, she received her BA in Professional Writing from Carlow University where she discovered her passion for serving her community. While there, she raised awareness about homelessness, coordinated toy drives, and mentored local Carrick students through Carlow’s Youth Media Advocacy Program.
Since graduating, Chardaé has volunteered with AmeriCorps mentoring teens in Braddock where she aided in the creation of a 2014 summer lunch program tied to a local job readiness program for teens. As an advocate for people in her community, she’s mentored kids at the Downtown Carnegie Library as she knows that books are the very thing that inspired her to become a writer. She’s chaired the local Nation Council for Negro Women Luncheon to aide in bridging the communication gap between the younger women and older women in the community.
Recently Jones realized that volunteerism and politics weren’t that separate. As Braddock’s current mayor she hopes to inspire, inform, and energize young adults to step up and help create a new identity for their community. She aims to create an open line of communication between community, public safety, and council. BRADDOCK Mayor Chardae Jones
