An attorney based in Chicago, Illinois, Robert Heist is the owner and principal of R. Connor and Associates, PC, a business law firm with additional offices in Lake Forest and Boston, Massachusetts. Over the course of more than two decades as an attorney and leader of the firm, Robert Heist has also held positions such as chairman of the board of managers at the Milton Hershey School.
In 2021, under Mr. Heist’s leadership and direction as Chairman, the Milton Hershey School Trust invested $350 million in an initiative that will see the construction of as many as six early childhood resource centers (ECRCs) throughout the state of Pennsylvania. These ECRCs, which serve children from infancy through 5 years of age, have been designed to meet the needs of economically disadvantaged students and those living in at-risk environments. Services will be provided to children at no cost to their families. All ECRCs will operate independent of the MHS core model but will remain subsidiaries of the school. The first facility was planned for Derry Township, with resources for up to 150 students. A highlight of the resource center’s services is a core early learning program that targets social, emotional, and cognitive development, as well as traditional academic learning.
