At the 93rd Annual New Jersey State League of Municipalities Conference in Atlantic City, then League President Robert L. Bowser and officials from throughout New Jersey honored the most recent inductees to the Mayors’ Hall of Fame.
The League established the Hall of Fame to recognize mayors who have served for over ten or 20 years.
“Serving as mayor for ten or 20 years is a commitment of time and energy over the long haul. These mayors have obviously made a long-term commitment to community leadership. They’ve had a chance to see their communities grow and change over the years and to work to make a difference, “said League Executive Director Bill Dressel. “They deserve to be recognized.”
The members of the League’s 15th Annual Hall of Fame were honored during a special ceremony during the Mayor’s Box Luncheon on Wednesday, November 19.
