Making it Their Business to Promote Service |
The Jersey Call to Service is inspiring people statewide to get active thanks to the leadership of the New Jersey business community. Joseph Taylor, CEO of Matrix Development, donated the billboard on the Turnpike South at Exit 12 that shows Gov. Tom Kean asking New Jerseyans to Answer the Jersey Call to Service. More billboards are planned around the state!
Johnson & Johnson has called its employees to service, and has placed posters advertising the Summit in their Headquarters. Many business CEO's have invited their employees to come to the Summit and the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce magazine ran a feature article and ad, as well as a letter from the President, all about the importance of the Jersey Call to Service. 
Verizon President and Chamber Chairman Dennis Bone is promoting the Jersey Call to Service and encouraging his employees to take leadership roles in government. He has invited all 18,000 employees to the Summit. He is featured in a June NJBIZ Magazine interview ( read), together with Ray Pocino, Vice President of Laborers International and Harry Pozycki, Citizens' Campaign Chair (pictured) talking about the Jersey Call to Service. "As an observer of what goes on in New Jersey, and seeing a lot of corruption, its very clear that one of the antidotes is to get good people involved, all throughout the system," Bone said. |
| Calling All Citizen Leaders: Learn How to Serve Your State |
 May 30th Op-Ed published in the Trenton Times, the Home News Tribune, the Courier News and the Asbury Park Press by our Chairman Harry Pozycki.
New Jersey faces an immediate budget crisis at all levels of government and a long-term fiscal problem that can no longer be papered over by budget gimmicks. It took us a long time to dig this big of a hole, and it will take more than new leadership in Trenton to dig ourselves out. To put it simply, it requires a culture change, and that means all of us must step up to the plate. That is the goal of Jersey Call to Service, a public service campaign to inspire 5,000 citizens from all corners of our state to take an active leadership role in their communities. The Jersey Call to Service aims to change New Jersey's political culture from one dominated by political careerism, corruption and waste to a culture of service and frugality. This will take an infusion of new citizen leaders from outside the political establishment. ( read more) |
