Eighteen months since its inception, United Way of Northern New Jersey continues to grow and strengthen its Board of Trustees, welcoming four new members, reappointing three others and reelecting its officers.

Reelected as board chair was Susan Wetzel, of Warren, who is U.S. vice president of Customer Experience for Johnson & Johnson Medical Device and Diagnostics. Likewise, Vice-chair Mike Millegan, of Basking Ridge, president of Global Wholesale at Verizon was reelected along with Secretary Helen Ong, of Scarsdale, New York., assistant general counsel at Pfizer, and Treasurer Ted O’Dell, of Montclair, who is a community volunteer.

The Board also approved three-year term extensions for Ong; James Furgeson, of Sparta, director of Business Development and Physician Relations at Newton Medical Center; and William Rodgers, Ph.D., of Belle Mead, professor and chief economist at the Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University.

United Way of Northern New Jersey serves the five-county region encompassing Morris, North Essex, Somerset, Sussex and Warren counties. The four new board members further broaden and strengthen the range of expertise reflected on the 17-member board, said United Way of Northern New Jersey CEO John Franklin.
