Shareowners elected Jane M. Kenny, Amy B. Mansue, Sharon C. Taylor, Stephen D. Westhoven and Willian T. Yardley to New Jersey Resources’ board of directors during NJR’s annual meeting that was held virtually on Jan. 21.
The term for each of them is for three years that will expire in 2029.
“We have an exceptional group of directors whose expertise and vision drives our growth strategy,” said Steve Westhoven, president and CEO of New Jersey Resources. “I appreciate our shareowners’ support for our directors, including me, and I look forward to working with Jane, Amy, Sharon and Bill and the rest of the board to honor that confidence by continuing to deliver long-term value.”
Also at the annual meeting, Donald L. Correll, a longstanding member and chair of NJR’s board, retired after 17 years. Thomas C. O’Connor will succeed Correll as board chair.
Correll joined NJR’s Board of Directors in 2008 and was a member of the audit and leadership development and compensation committees and chair of the executive committee. In 2020, he was named chair of the board.
“I want to thank Don for the insight, sound judgement and candor he brought to our Board,” Mr. Westhoven said. “As board chair, his strong and steady leadership, coupled with thoughtful strategic guidance, was instrumental to NJR’s growth and success to date. We are a better, stronger company today because of his contributions.”
In other business, shareowners approved a non-binding advisory resolution on the compensation of NJR’s named executive officers, as well as the proposed 2026 stock award and incentive plan, and ratified the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2026.
