New Jersey American Water President Cheryl Norton Appointed to Two Statewide COVID-19 Advisory Councils

Created by Governor Murphy as part of a comprehensive public health and economic response to COVID-19, the New Jersey Restart & Recovery Advisory Council will bring together leaders from various industry, community, and anchor groups and institutions across the state in order to advise state leadership on economic matters impacted by the pandemic.

Norton was appointed to serve on the Transportation & Infrastructure committee.

This Advisory Council will complement the work of the Governor’s Restart and Recovery Commission, a commission charged with advising the administration on the timing and preparation for New Jersey’s recovery from the COVID-19 shutdown.

The new Economic Advisory Council created by Speaker Coughlin will advise the Speaker and other members of Assembly Leadership on efforts to ensure New Jersey can responsibly recover from the devastating impacts of COVID-19 when the pandemic subsides. The private sector panel consists of experts in the fields of government, health care, education, higher education, business, commerce, tourism, social services and more.

“I am honored to be included in these important advisory councils to help shape the safe and successful return of New Jersey’s businesses and industries,” said Norton. “Balancing the need for safety with the work needed to sustain the state’s economy is critical as we look to build a stronger, more resilient New Jersey.”

Both advisory councils began meetings this week and will continue to convene as long as necessary to help guide the state’s recovery.
