102Nd Annual Conference

Welcome to the 102 nd Annual League Conference

President’s Welcome November 14, 2017

Dear Conference Delegate: It is my honor and my privilege to welcome you to your New Jersey State League of Municipalities’ 102nd Annual Conference. “Realizing Tomorrow’s Potential” is the theme of this year’s gathering. But for those of us who serve our fellow citizens on the local level, it is a goal that we all strive for every day.

A sage once said, “Yesterday is history. Tomorrow’s a mystery. But today is a gift. And that’s why they call it the present.” If we are to realize tomorrow’s potential, we need to make the best of that present. And there is no better place to do that, than right here at the League’s Conference. Your thoughtful attendance is proof positive of how much you care.

Indeed, we come to the Conference because we care. We care about New Jersey. We care about our colleagues in the public’s service. But, most of all, we care about our fellow citizens–our neighbors, their families, our friends.

We care enough to set aside three days each year to listen and to learn. To talk and to teach. From the seminars and workshops, to the exhibit floor, to our personal conversations with friends and colleagues facing similar challenges, we increase our understanding of the work we do at home. We strive to grasp every opportunity to improve our towns by sharing our insights,

On behalf of the League’s officers, executive board, and staff, I thank you for participating in this important event. You generously donate so much personal and professional time during the course of a year, to serve your fellow citizens to the very best of your abilities. And we thank you for that. We also thank you for committing this week to learning as much as you can to make our State the best that it can be.

Sincerely, Albert B. Kelly Mayor, Bridgeton City President, New Jersey League of Municipalities Contents y r r 1 3 3 3 5 5 2 2 2 2 4 4 4 4 9 9 6 6 6 n 0 0 b

A N M D J M S S S J F S Punchlines & Politics: Perfect Together! – Room 411 Whether you’re laughing at your favorite TV show or comedian, laughing does you good. Laughter is a great form of stress relief and being an elected official, well, that’s no joke. It’s not an easy job. While, a good sense of humor can’t cure all ailments, it can do a lot of positive things. A good laugh has great short-term effects. Laughter enhances your intake of oxygen-rich air, 4 stimulates your heart, lungs and muscles, and increases the endorphins that are released by your 1

brain. A rollicking laugh fires up and then cools down your stress response, and it can increase r your heart rate and blood pressure. The result? A good, relaxed feeling. In this panel, you’ll hear

e from elected officials who use their sense of humor every day to relieve the stress of government.
