Stefanie Sutton has been promoted to manager of special events and will have increased responsibility to ensure that CCSNJ's in-person events and virtual programs are executed at the highest level of excellence. Ms. Sutton was hired at the start of 2020 as an events coordinator and was instrumental in the transition of our programs to a virtual space at the height of the pandemic, while also taking on the role of elevating the Chamber's social media presence. Please join us in congratulating Stefanie!

Difficulties and struggles are unavoidable in life, but a person has complete control over one’s personal response to the situation. Our brain’s default setting is negativity. However, optimism overpowers that negativity or tendency to be mediocre. Join us to hear from Kimberly S. Reed, M.Ed., CDP, international speaker and diversity/inclusion strategist and author of “Optimists Always Win! Moving from Defeat to Life’s C-Suite”, as she discusses the life events and lessons conveyed in her book and how others can obtain a level of happiness, peace, wisdom and growth in all areas of their lives.

Join us for a conversation with Jane Cohen, Executive Director of the newly established Office of Climate Action and the Green Economy in the Office of Governor Phil Murphy. Additionally, there will be time allocated after the formal presentation for an environmental legislative and regulatory update from Manko, Gold, Katcher & Fox LLP.

One of the ways AT&T works to achieve this goal is by investing in our network in the Garden State. From 2017 to 2019, we invested more than $1.3 billion in our wireless and wired networks in New Jersey. These investments improve availability, reliability, coverage, speed and overall performance for residents and businesses in the state. Another way we are working to achieve this goal is through a $2 billion, three-year national commitment we announced earlier this week to help bridge the digital divide through low-cost broadband offers, participation in the Emergency Broadband Benefit program, and community investment.

The CCSNJ remains committed to our new strategic vision launching two new Business Councils, the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Council and the Women’s Council, as well as conducting a two-day virtual Diversity Forum entitled Equity Across Our Communities and an expanded two-day virtual Women’s Conference.

However, our work is just beginning. We are requesting that CCSNJ members take five minutes to answer a short eight question survey, which will identify opportunities to enhance the CCSNJ’s efforts in the areas of diversity, equity and inclusion while also provide guidance in developing the goals of future CCSNJ programming and resources associated with its CCSNJ Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Council and Women’s Council.
