Jemia Kinsey Singleton, President and Chief Communications Officer of Kinsey Communications, brings more than 25 years of experience in strategic communications, public relations, and stakeholder engagement. As founder of her firm, she has led initiatives for organizations including the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Walmart, and GEICO, helping institutions effectively connect with diverse audiences and communities. She is a past president of the Public Relations Society of America (New Jersey Chapter) and currently serves as Vice President of the Supplier Diversity Development Council, reflecting her commitment to advancing diverse businesses and inclusive economic growth.
Nadine Jones, founder of General Counsel Support Services and former General Counsel and Senior Vice President at Kuehne + Nagel, brings deep expertise in legal strategy, corporate governance, and regulatory compliance. A recognized voice on corporate accountability and community engagement, she is also co-founder of The Initiative: Advancing the Blue & Black Partnership, a nonprofit focused on strengthening relationships between law enforcement and communities of color. In 2023, she received the Exemplar Award from the National Legal Aid & Defender Association for her work advancing collaboration between corporate and community stakeholders.
“These appointments reflect the continued evolution of AACCNJ as a leading voice for Black business in New Jersey,” said Dr. John E. Harmon, Sr., IOM, Founder, President, and CEO of AACCNJ. “Jemia and Nadine bring exceptional expertise, credibility, and a deep commitment to community and economic empowerment. Their leadership will strengthen our ability to advocate, innovate, and deliver meaningful impact for our members across the state.”
“As AACCNJ continues to scale its influence and deepen its role in driving economic opportunity, it is critical that our Board reflects both strategic depth and executional excellence,” said Gary Mann, Chairman of the Board. “Jemia’s ability to shape narrative and drive engagement, combined with Nadine’s legal insight and policy perspective, positions AACCNJ to operate at a higher level as we navigate increasingly complex business and regulatory environments.”
The addition of Singleton and Jones comes at a pivotal time for AACCNJ as the organization continues to advance initiatives focused on business growth, economic development, and equitable access to opportunities for African American businesses throughout the state.
