Eileen Murray

Bergen Performing Arts Center's Chair of The Board of Trustees, Valerie Vainieri Huttle, announced the naming of the renovated bergenPAC lobby with a dedication ceremony held on Saturday, December 17, honoring Eileen K. Murray, to dedicate its newly renovated lobby in honor of her parents with the unveiling of the Bridget H. and James P. Murray Lobby.

Among CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, there are more men named John than there are women. It is a shocking fact but reflects a situation where women held only 24 of those CEO roles in 2018, a number that is 25% smaller than in 2017. Women only hold 12% of the board seats among the world's largest companies and 15% of US companies have no women at all on their boards of directors. 

On Today, June 22nd, from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., the Cultural Access Network Project (CAN), a program of New Jersey Theatre Alliance and New Jersey State Council on the Arts, will host the ninth annual Excellence in Cultural Access Awards at Grounds For Sculpture in Hamilton, NJ.
