What’s New?

Governor-Elect Sherrill has announced the members of her transition team and ACNJ's Early Learning Policy and Advocacy Director, Winifred Smith-Jenkins, is on the Delivering a Strong Education for New Jersey Children Action Team! This policy team will be co-chaired by Meghan Tavormina, Winifred's Co-chair on the Start Strong NJ campaign.

Meghan and Winifred will work to make sure the affordability and workforce crisis facing New Jersey child care is front and center as the team helps prepare the new administration to hit the ground running.

In all issue areas, the Governor-elect’s transition plans reflect a clear theme, making affordability a priority. And no affordability agenda is complete without addressing child care — an issue that touches families, businesses, and New Jersey’s economy.

We look forward to working closely with the new administration as it begins shaping a first-year agenda, and we’re committed to helping to make children a top-tier priority in the months ahead.

Bette Simmons and Meghan Tavormina (Co-Chairs);Steve Beatty
