Join us for an enlightening and dynamic event on public policy, where we’ll explore the implications of the recent presidential election results, and their impact on local governance. Gain insights from New Jersey’s congressional delegation and hear what Democratic and Republican gubernatorial nominees say their vision is for our state’s future.

This gathering presents a unique opportunity for community members, policymakers, and stakeholders to engage in meaningful discussions about the direction of our nation and its influence on local and state policies.
