2025 National Conference Attendee

This is always one of my favorite times of the year - spending time with fellow governance professionals to share ideas and experiences. Although we come from all over, we are connected by the work we do and the challenges we face. Each conference feels like picking up right where we left off - learning and laughing with both new and longtime friends!

- Mary Pat Bolin, Manager Corporate Governance and Legal Operations, New Jersey Resources
