Murphy Applauds Tom Uram on Serving Second Term
Congressman Tim Murphy (PA-18) recently released the following statement applauding the appointment of Washington County resident Thomas J. Uram to serve a second term on the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC), a panel of experts to advise the Secretary of the Treasury on the themes and designs of all U.S. coins and medals.
“I’m proud that Tom Uram was selected to serve a second term to the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee,” said Congressman Murphy. “Tom served his first term on the CCAC with enthusiasm and a commitment to encourage the best possible designs, creating several medals for commemorating events like the 150th Anniversary of our national motto: ‘In God We Trust.’ He never missed a meeting, consistently kept a positive attitude and eagerly worked with coin collectors and stakeholders to propose designs that best represent the interest of Americans. I look forward to another four years of Tom's leadership at the CCAC.”
“It is certainly an honor to be reappointed to the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee,” said Mr. Uram. “I look forward to continuing the work that we have started over the past four years and appreciate the confidence that Congressman Murphy has in me, as well as my colleagues at the U. S. Mint. While we have many new challenges facing the numismatic side of the U.S. Mint, I look forward to meeting those challenges head on and continuing to represent the collector base of American citizens and collectors."
