An evening of networking, discussing finnacial and economic issues and other lighter conversation between accounting and banking professionals was planned at the Elan in Lodi, Nj this year. As usual, we also had two speakers for the evening. The first was Kenneth Kobylowski, who, having recently been Acting Director of Banking for the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance (DOBI), was appointed Acting Commissioner of the DOBI by Governor Christie in February 2012. The second speaker was retired Giants football player Perry Williams, who finished his graduate graduate work in Public Administration and is now professor at Fairleigh Dickinson University.
