End the Conference Inspired
On Thursday afternoon delegates gather for the sit-down Delegates Luncheon that puts you in the room with League and State leadership and creates a learning opportunity to start 2025 on the right foot. The League Delegates Luncheon is a gathering of local government officials and those who support their work. It opens with the honor guard and Town Crier Rich LaLena.
This year, three individuals will be honored at the luncheon:
- The Public Sector Career Recognition Award will Posthumously recognize U.S. Representatives William Pascrell and Donald Payne Jr.
- Distinguished Public Service Award: William J. Kearns Jr., General Counsel, NJLM; Helmer, Conley, & Kasselman will be recognized for his work.
Whether a longtime member or newly elected, it is an inspiring way to wrap up your Conference week.
Tickets are $45 and may be purchased at the end of the Registration Desk located on ACCC 2nd floor.
