The politically influential South Jersey Democrat will discuss the leadership necessary for effective urban education, sponsored by the Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics.

The Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics of Rider University will host an evening with former Camden County Democratic Party chair George E. Norcross III on Wednesday, October 5, at 7:30 p.m. in the Mercer Room of Daly Dining Hall.

Norcross, the executive chairman of the insurance brokerage firm of Connor Strong & Buckelew, will be on hand to discuss Urban Education and the Leadership Needed to Make it Happen. An influential force in New Jersey politics, Norcross is also the chairman of the Board of Trustees for Cooper Health System and Cooper University Hospital in Camden.

Though he has never held an elected political office, Norcross was once cited by PolitcsNJ.com as the second most influential political personality in the state of New Jersey.
