 The Citizens Campaign Chair receives prestigious Governor's Jefferson Award.
The Citizens Campaign Chairman Harry Pozycki was presented the Governor's Jefferson Award for volunteering his time and serving as an outstanding Founder/Innovator.
The Governor's Jefferson Awards is a partnership of the New Jersey Office of Volunteerism, Star-Ledger, and the Community Foundation of New Jersey.
At the awards ceremony Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno said, "Volunteerism is truly compassion in action, and these citizens have not only identified priority needs, but have found unique ways to address those needs."
We are truly honored to have a dedicated chairman who has truly found a unique way of building a stronger citizenry. A special thank you to Perth Amboy resident Tracy Jordan (pictured left) for nominating Harry.
