UN Special Envoy, Financing the Health MDGs and for Malaria
I joined the board of JerseyCAN as I remain extremely concerned with the disparity that exists in our state where children in communities like Newark, NJ are significantly underperforming their peers in suburban towns. Having worked in Newark for nearly 25 years, I believe that an organization like JerseyCAN will bring greater political and policy acumen to this issue. JerseyCAN, through its strategic planning, research-based policy analysis, and coalition-building, will have a measurable impact on improving high-quality school options for all children in New Jersey.
