An early priority was putting together an Advisory Board of senior executives and leaders in business, education, and community life to guide the work of the Center. This page acknowledges those who were willing to lend their names to this effort at the outset. While some are no longer actively involved, we appreciate the contributions that each of them made to defining our mission.A new Advisory Board may be constituted in the near future, and members invited to attend quarterly open forums to discuss the issues of the day and showcase the actions and best practices of their organizations.
The following are some individuals who supported the establishment of Center for Business Excellence.
- Dr. Jeremiah Ryan, President, Raritan Valley Community College
- Joan Verplanck, President, NJ Chamber of Commerce
- Al Licata, Mayor, Bernards Township
- Prof. Howard P. Tuckman, Dean, Finance & Economics, Rutgers University Management Education Center
- Robert Aquilina, Former President & CEO, Business Partnership Of Somerset County
- Clayton P. Alderfer, Distinguished Professor, Center for Organizational Development & Leadership, Rutgers University
- Anthony Caldwell, Director of International Trade & Protocol, NJ Commerce
- Mel Toomey, Founder, Generative Leadership Group
- Paula Portner, Director, Strategic Marketing Design Group
- Doug Berger, Principal, Innovate LLC
- Dr. Henry Green, Chair, Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters, New York
- Nancy Hartmann, Marketing & Development, New Jersey Ballet
Advisory Board members were asked to provide advice, support, and high-profile public expression of the goals of the CBE. The Center will in turn provide public recognition, high-level networking, and strategic support to its supporters and member organizations.
