Lancaster, Pa. – The Hempfield Foundation has named Barley Snyder partner Peter J. Faben to its board of directors.

The nonprofit organization supports the Hempfield School District’s educational mission by providing grants to the district’s faculty and staff for projects and innovative teaching methods that the district may not have been able to pay for itself. It also awards scholarships to graduating seniors for their post-secondary education.

Faben and his family live in East Hempfield Township and the older of his two children is already enrolled in the district.

“Hempfield provides a top-notch education for its students, and that education is enhanced by the foundation’s work, which allows students to pursue unique projects and novel educational experiences,” Faben said. “I’m excited for the opportunity to work with the foundation to enrich the educations of all students in the district.”

Faben is a member of the Barley Snyder Litigation Practice Group and the Health Care Industry Group. In 2021, the Central Penn Business Journal named him to its “Forty Under 40” list of businesspeople in the region, and he has been named a “Pennsylvania Super Lawyers Rising Star” from 2019 to 2021.

He also is a member of the board of directors at Advoz and is a graduate of Leadership Lancaster.
