EXECUTIVE ORDER

WHEREAS, Commonwealth employees have regularly provided voluntary financial support to

charitable organizations through the annual State Employee Combined Appeal

(SECA); and

WHEREAS, voluntary financial support to charitable organizations has been facilitated through

the payroll deduction system; and

WHEREAS, the interests of the Commonwealth are to encourage charitable giving to a broad

range of needs and to avoid both overburdening the payroll deduction system and

disrupting the workplace of Commonwealth employees.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Thomas Ridge, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, by

virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and

other laws, do hereby authorize the use of payroll deductions by Commonwealth employees for

charitable contributions through SECA.

Consistent with this order, the Secretary of Administration is hereby delegated the authority

to administer, through the Directives Management System, the structure of SECA and the

responsibilities of the Commonwealth to SECA.
