New Jersey Future To Honor Trustee Henry A. Coleman

September 23rd, 2014 by Elaine Clisham

New Jersey Future will honor its longtime trustee Henry A. Coleman, at a reception Oct. 30 in New Brunswick.

Henry is the embodiment of an exemplary scholar and public servant. His legacy can be seen in the students he has taught, through his work in government – notably as executive director of the State and Local Expenditure and Revenue Policy Commission and director of the Center for Local Government Services – and through his influential service on numerous boards, including New Jersey Future, the Fund for New Jersey, the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, and many, many others.

The event, an evening cocktail reception from 6 to 8 p.m., will be at Christopher’s Restaurant at The Heldrich, 10 Livingston Ave. in New Brunswick.

The celebration will be preceded by an afternoon symposium, presented by New Jersey Future and the Lincoln Institute for Land Policy, taking a look back at the two years since Superstorm Sandy landed in New Jersey and exploring the latest advances in resilient design, how it will be paid for and where the cost burden will fall. The symposium will take place at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University, 33 Livingston Ave. in New Brunswick. There is no charge to attend the symposium, but registration is required.
