Dennis Bone was recently named to Governor-elect Chris Christie’s transition team. The announcement is a reflection of Bone’s leadership both as the Verizon New Jersey president as well as chairman of the New Jersey State Chamber of Commerce.

Bone will serve as co-chairman of Christie’s economic development and growth sub-committee with Woodbridge Mayor John McCormac, who also is a former state treasurer. Their committee is charged with identifying economic issues and advising the next governor on appointments to departments of state government in the incoming administration.

“These are difficult times for employers, and I look forward to working on their behalf to position New Jersey as an economic leader and a great place to work and live for many years to come,” said Bone. “The state has its challenges, and we will continue to offer recommendations designed to take advantage of our assets and to make us more competitive.”

Bone also co-chairs the state chamber’s Cornerstone New Jersey Vision 20/20 project, which consists of nine initiatives that, if implemented, would position New Jersey as a regional and global leader. Participants from all segments of New Jersey business association and civic organizations are working collaboratively with state and local leaders to adopt the initiatives.
