I oversee the bank’s work connecting individuals, families, and businesses to resources that make their financial lives better throughout our state. I’m also charged with helping strengthen economic opportunity and build strong communities, which as we know are essential to our New Jersey residents.

The 2024 Women in Business Leadership Conference in New Jersey was designed to build connections and create new opportunities for entrepreneurs.

Like many cities across the country, Jersey City is experiencing a rapid revitalization but, at the same time, not all residents have safe and affordable places to live.
 
Through the construction of affordable housing options like the Dr. Lena Frances Edwards Apartments, local residents – like Taylor Allen and her daughter – have found both security and opportunity in a new home.
