Board of Directors

Chair, Board of Directors
Robert Gorman
Rob Gorman graduated from Villanova university in 1999 with a Bachelor of Science in Finance. He is the founder and managing partner of Kita, Gorman & Associates, a full-service wealth management and financial planning firm. After attending a Covenant House Pennsylvania event, Rob was moved by the mission of helping the homeless youth of Philadelphia and motivated to take action with the organization. He started working with Covenant House Pennsylvania in 2009 to develop the Young Professional Associate Board, which he ran for seven years. He became a member of Covenant House PA’s Board of Directors in 2014 and served as the chair of the Finance Committee from 2015 until 2019. From 2019 to 2023 he was the vice-chair of the board as well as the chair of the Governance Committee. His hope is that, through his work with Covenant House Pennsylvania, he can make a lasting impact on the lives of at-risk youth by providing them with the tools they need to positively impact their future.
