Christie Transition Committee Chairs

New Jersey Governor-Elect Chris Christie announced today the names of leaders from the private and public sectors who will chair 19 different issue sub-committees tasked with issue development and state appointments.
These diverse leaders in industry, business, education and public service from across New Jersey will oversee the top to bottom review of each government department and help manage the appointment process.
Chairman David Samson stated, "We are privileged to have such an accomplished and respected group of leaders from both the private and public sectors heading up our sub-committees on issues and appointments. The first step to ensuring a smooth transition is analyzing and evaluating departmental performance and finding qualified and innovative people to handle the work that needs to be done. They are up to the task."
