The NJEA announced that longtime staffer Steve Swetsky will succeed Ed Richardson as the organization’s new executive director. 

President Marie Blistan had the following to say about Richardson: “He’s been a stalwart advocate for members throughout his career at NJEA. Over the last six years, he has expertly guided NJEA through many challenges and leaves our union strong and well-positioned for the future. On behalf of my fellow officers, Vice President Sean M. Spiller and Secretary-Treasurer Steve Beatty, I thank Ed for dedicating his career to NJEA. He will be greatly missed.”
