We will present the Founders Award to two vital advocates for the Arts Center: Mindy A.

Terry, Sr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Newark Beth Israel Medical Center and Children’s Hospital of New Jersey, NJPAC Board Member and one of the architects of our Arts & Well-Being programming. NJPAC would not be the thriving, multifaceted organization it is today without these two devoted supporters.
