Ron Sabol was sworn in as the newly elected president of the New Jersey Society for Environment and Economic Development (

NJ SEED: ) during the coalition’s quarterly trustee and membership meeting at the Trenton Country Club in West Trenton today. Senator Patrick J. Diegnan Jr. had the honor of swearing in Sabol, who currently serves as the New Jersey State Legislative Director for the transportation division of SMART, the international association of sheet metal, air, rail, and transportation workers union. “It’s an honor to be elected, not just by labor, but by the business community, as well, to a position like this,” Sabol said. “I recognize that business and labor can work together to advance policy and ensure the safety of New Jersey residents.” Diegnan said Sabol’s willingness to work simultaneously with the labor and business communities makes him an excellent candidate to succeed James Benton, NJ SEED’s immediate past president. “Ron is the quintessence of how to get things done,” Diegnan said, noting Sabol embodies all the qualities of an outstanding leader. “It’s not only about being smart, it’s not only about listening to people, it’s about trust. You could not have a better leader.” NJ SEED is a coalition of labor and business leaders advancing public policies that bolster the economy on balance with a clean environment.

Its diverse membership over the past 35 years has included energy providers, environmental consultants, telecommunications firms, residential and commercial development interests, insurance firms, educators, police and firefighters, food manufacturers and retailers, water utilities, chemical industries, pharmaceutical companies, and health care advocates. NJ SEED is focused during the current legislative session on supporting New Jersey’s elected leaders and policy leaders at all levels of government to ensure federal funds from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act are directed to the intended communities.
