Thank you for attending the SBCW 23rd Leadership and Career Pathways Conference.

We are so excited about the overwhelming response to this year’s virtual conference. We recognize that many of you were unable to participate in your desired breakout sessions due to a technical issue with our Zoom account that could not be resolved during the live event despite our best efforts. We apologize for this inconvenience and are taking steps to prevent this from happening again should we need to continue with virtual operations in the future.

As we shared during the conference, we are working to make the replays to the main session and the career-focused breakout sessions available to all conference registrants. We are also exploring the feasibility of offering a follow up stand-alone panel on domestic violence and sexual assault in the near future given the importance of this topic to the women in our community. Please stay tuned to our social media channels and website for additional updates in this regard.

Again, we thank you for your participation and appreciate your continued support.

A message from our Mayor Charlie Carley:

MAYOR CHARLIE CARLEY STATE OF THE TOWNSHIP:

I wanted to take a moment to update all the residents of the Township on the status of efforts to combat the virus in our community. Our work has been round the clock for the past month involving an all hands on deck approach. Our response has involved every department in the Township. Our local health department in coordination with the Middlesex County Health Department has been at the forefront of identifying people who have contracted the virus and conducting follow up. Our Office of Emergency Management has worked continuously with County and State officials to adapt to the changing emergencies and restrictions. Our Social Service Department and Senior Center have developed contingency plans to address the neediest members of our community. Our police department has modified manpower levels and added new technology to improve outreach capabilities. Our EMS services have risen to the occasion with increased coordination and improved response times. Our fire departments have adjusted their manpower to address our community’s needs. The entire municipal workforce has made adjustments to ensure safety while trying to maintain essential services. This is not battle that will end in the coming days, but I want everyone to rest assured your safety and welfare is my top priority.....

....I believe there is tremendous coordination and cooperation by all those responding to this emergency. I want to thank the vast majority of residents who are adhering to the Governor’s restrictions on social distancing and limiting travel. We have seen an 80% decrease in traffic crashes as a result of more people staying home. The next two weeks will be important to see how we can flatten the curve.

Here are some steps I have directed to help us get through these next few weeks;

• The Office of Emergency Management will issue briefings to the community ... via Nixle.

• Social Services will continue outreach efforts to get those in need of food assistance. You can contact food Jeanne Wert at (732) 329-4000 Ext. 7674 or email jwert@sbtnj.net to get help.

• The Office of Emergency Management in conjunction with the Senior Center will establish community follow up of the neediest members of our community.

• South Brunswick Public Works will implement an enhanced protection plan for our police vehicles, fire trucks, and municipal vehicles through new disinfectant procedures.

I believe there will be adjustments to our daily lives over the days to come and we will keep you informed. I also want to ask that you support our local restaurants who are open for take-out and delivery. These local establishments serve our community on a daily basis and if you are able to order from them it will help us all in the long run. A list of restaurants and food establishments can be found on the Township website at https://www.southbrunswicknj.gov/.

I thank you for your help and patients in this difficult time, and remember we are all in this together
