    Stockton Hosts Former Gov. Thomas Kean, Former Attorney General John Farmer Jr. for “A Revealing Look at 9/11” Packed Alton Auditorium Audience Listens to “Insiders” Perspective on Worst Terrorist Attack in U.S. For Immediate Release Thursday, September 16, 2010 Contact: Tim Kelly Office of Public Relations Galloway Township, NJ 08240 [email protected] (609) 652-4950 Galloway Township, NJ- A failure to communicate at the highest levels among governmental agencies led to the nation’s inability to recognize and respond effectively to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, according to John Farmer Jr., senior counsel to the government’s 9/11 Commission and former New Jersey Attorney General. Thomas Kean, former Governor of New Jersey who co-chaired the Commission, said, “the terrorists’ new strategy is for smaller attacks and to recruit Americans and other diverse people who don’t fit the profile of Middle Eastern terror organizations. We need to continue to fight the war on terrorism, particularly within our borders.” The pair gave these thoughts and many others before a crowd of more than 400 people who filled the Elizabeth Alton Auditorium and spilled into an overflow room to watch the event on video. The William J. Hughes Center for Public Policy presented the talk, “A Revealing Look at 9/11,” to a rapt audience of dignitaries, students, faculty, staff, and community members. The event, held roughly one year from the 10th anniversary of the attacks on America, presented a unique perspective on the events of that fateful and tragic day in U.S.

    Media contact: April 16, 2019 Joe Guerin Marketing Manager 973-845-6743 [email protected] The Shakespeare Theatre Names Their Unique Support Facility in Honor of Former Governor Thomas H. Kean MADISON, NJ — The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey is proud to announce that it will be naming its innovative, behind-the-scenes support facility in honor of Former Governor Thomas H. Kean, who has served as the Theatre’s Honorary Chair for over three decades. Located at 3 Vreeland Road in Florham Park, the building will be named The Thomas H. Kean Theatre Factory: The Education, Production and Administrative Center for The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey. Governor Kean’s unparalleled record of advocacy and support for the arts, artists, and arts education throughout the region over many decades, and his deep commitment to emerging young talent inspired The Shakespeare Theatre leadership to ask Governor Kean’s permission to name their groundbreaking workplace in his honor. Governor Kean has graciously agreed to lend his name to the building. Governor Kean said, ''As a lifetime supporter of the arts, I am excited to join my name to this unique project. This ‘Theatre Factory’ will continue to be a center where Artistic Director, Bonnie J. Monte, and her team create and assemble theatrical magic. It is an honor to be included by name in this collaborative artistic nucleus." Artistic Director, Bonnie J. Monte said, “We are absolutely thrilled that Governor Kean’s name will grace our building. Everything that happens inside our Theatre Factory exemplifies the kind of transformative education and training opportunities that the Governor has championed his whole life.

In developing our list, we eliminated anyone who currently holds elected office, as well as the Judiciary. This precludes some people, Assemblyman/Democratic State Chairman Joe Cryan, for example. We also eliminated the living former Governors, United States Senators, and, of course, Bill Gormley: we believe this particular group remains highly influential and well-respected. This is an Insiders List. We looked at policy makers, party leaders, fundraisers, lobbyists, labor unions, businesses, and associations and have assembled the ultimate list of New Jerseyans with clout, with an impact on politics and government in the Garden State. We selected names based on a fairly unscientific curve: we allocated spaces on this list for a dozen different categories within the New Jersey political community -- so #11 on the list of important fundraisers or donors doesn’t make the list, but the most influential congressional staffer does.
