East Windsor Mayor Is New President of NJ Conference of Mayors

EAST WINDSOR, NJ — East Windsor Mayor Janice S. Mironov was recently sworn in as President of the New Jersey Conference of Mayors (NJCM). Mironov was administered the Oath of Office by U.S. Senator Cory Booker in a virtual ceremony held on Jan. 6.

The NJCM virtual transitional meeting featured opening comments by Lt. Governor Sheila Oliver and remarks by NJ Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin.

“It is an honor to lead the New Jersey Conference of Mayors, and work with my many valued and caring mayor colleagues and friends throughout New Jersey. Mayors across the state are proving every day that local leadership can improve the quality of residents' lives in impactful and meaningful ways,” Mironov said. “There is much we can accomplish when we work together and leave partisanship behind, and that is the spirit of this organization. I’m excited to serve as a powerful voice for the Conference, my fellow Mayors and the people of New Jersey.”

The NJCM was founded in 1963 by a group of Mayors who believed their collective voices should be heard in Trenton and Washington.

The mission of the organization is to provide a unified approach and open line of communication to State and Federal Legislatures and Administrations on issues impacting those they serve. NJCM is the largest statewide organization in the nation to exclusively represent the interests of Mayors.

Mironov has served as Mayor of East Windsor for over 25 consecutive years and is known for her conservative and responsible financial stewardship, environmental and sustainability initiatives and pro-active economic development leadership.

In addition to her leadership in East Windsor and Mercer County, Mironov also served as President of the New Jersey League of Municipalities, New Jersey Highway Traffic Safety Policy Advisory Committee member, CentraState Government and Regulatory Affairs Committee member, and New Jersey Shares Board member.

Mironov received her B.A. in political science from Wellesley College in Wellesley, Massachusetts and earned her law degree (J.D.) with honors from the National Law Center at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.
