II. Hot Topics for Local Officials: Environmental Sessions and the League Conference

As caretakers of the land for future generations, the environment remains an ongoing concern for New Jersey’s municipalities. With the nation’s most strict plastic bag ban signed off by Governor Murphy and mask litter cluttering our streets, along with many other issues, getting green and staying green is a challenge that League Conference sessions can help local officials tackle.

Consider the following sessions when planning your schedule for the 105^th Annual Conference, November 16-20. And if you can’t make it to all the sessions during Conference Week, you will have up to a year to catch up as these sessions will be recorded and available on-demand for registrants for one year.

III. League Mourns Dunleavy

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Mayor Jonathan Dunleavy of Bloomingdale. A member of the League Executive Board since 2011, he will be posthumously inducted into the Mayors Hall of Fame at the 105^th League Conference.

Dunleavy worked tirelessly to improve Bloomingdale. He loved a challenge and saw opportunities where others saw roadblocks. Residents were a priority and he made himself available to them, answering tough questions in council meetings and around the town.

But Dunleavy always made time for his family. He and his wife, Janet, recently celebrated their 30^th wedding anniversary this month and they were proud of their children, Katie, Ryan, Emily, and Sean. He was also close with his three brothers and their families and spent Thanksgiving with them cooking and handing out meals at a soup kitchen.
