President Watkins on NJTV!
Dear NJMMA Members:
Through the efforts of our media and marketing consultant, Winning Strategies, NJTV presented a piece on the role of the municipal manager in New Jersey on February 27th. The episode highlighted Bloomfield and its manager, Matt Watkins. Although the piece focused on Bloomfield, it was a testament to professional municipal managers like each of you.
It emphasized the difficulties and barriers that you face every day as well as the significant victories that you achieve. To his credit, Matt also discussed the inaccurate and unfortunate public perceptions about public employees and the need to recognize their work and dedication to the public.
The episode was a very important development in NJMMA’s history for a variety of reasons.
I am sharing the link with you as it merits sharing and additional distribution:
Enjoy!
Alan Zalkind, Executive Director
