Board of Directors

NJFPA is a member-led organization. Everything from a webinar to our signature conference can only happen with the dedicated work of our members who volunteer their time and expertise. For those interested in contributing, NJFPA will work with you to find an opportunity to build your resume, your networks, and your knowledge. Intersted in volunteering? Fill out this form!
