Board of Trustees

The New Jersey Association on Correction (NJAC) has a tripartite Board of Trustees. This means that one-third of our board is made up of low-income individuals or those that represent low-income individuals and/or families; one third are elected officials (or their representatives); and the remaining are from business, industry, labor, religious, law enforcement, education, or other major groups and interests in the communities we serve. Our board is a cross-section of individuals that all come together to help guide the direction and overall effectiveness of the work of the organization. We appreciate the time and efforts of the following volunteers currently serving on our board:
