What Current NPEA Members Like About NPEA:
"At New Jersey SEEDS, we have always kept one eye on the "big picture": the need to break down the barriers to opportunity in our society. No single person, group or organization can accomplish that goal alone. It will take a collective effort by a far-flung network of creative and committed leaders. NPEA provides a collaborative framework to leverage our shared vision of social equity into real, nationwide change."
Amy Ziebarth
Executive Director, New Jersey SEEDS
