The New Jersey Alliance for Action recently held its 43rd annual Eagle Awards Celebration, which recognizes individuals and firms for their dedication and contribution towards improving the state’s economy. Held at the Hyatt Regency New Brunswick, seven awards were handed out to representatives from business, labor, engineering and government.
New Jersey Secretary of Higher Education Rochelle Hendricks was recognized with the Richard M. Hale Chairman’s Award. Under Secretary Hendricks’ guidance, the state has spent billions of dollars on building and refurbishing college buildings and advanced the blueprint for higher education recommended by the Governor’s Higher Education Task Force.
