When some people see a problem in the human services industry, they volunteer. Others give financial contributions to a local nonprofit. But one woman in Bucks County, Penn., has a different idea… she’s running for office. Diane Marseglia, who for 24 years has been employed as a social worker for the county's intermediate unit, is campaigning to take over the County Commissioner seat. According to Marseglia, “Human services make up about half of the county's budget and over the years she's noticed a longer lag time between requests for services and action at the county level” and wants to make a change.
