We are honored that they are joining us to bring more support to our mission of advancing the competitive excellence and success of New Jersey businesses.”
In other board moves, Rashaad Bajwa, CEO of Integris, and Domenick Cama, who recently retired as Citizens’ NYC Metro president, are retiring, NJBIA announced. And Deanna Sperling, CEO and president of RWJBarnabas Behavioral Health Center, has been appointed board treasurer.
