• Economic development and taxation

• Government reform
• Health care and transportation

The newly elected board members are:

• Peter Dontas, executive vice president and market executive, New Jersey, Wells Fargo
• Dustin Riccio, president and CEO, St. Joseph’s Health
• Eric Seguin, president and CEO, Solix Inc.
• Carolyn Welsh, president and CEO, NJ Sharing Network

In a press release announcing the new board members, New Jersey Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Tom Bracken noted the many opportunities and challenges facing New Jersey.

“And these individuals will provide counsel and expertise as we work collaboratively to ensure the state reaches its full economic potential,” said Bracken. “They will be joining a board with an already impressive group of business leaders from all parts of the state, representing many different industries and backgrounds.”
