Board of Trustees & Staff
At a Bi-Annual Election meeting, general members of the CASID elect seven (7) of their own to serve on the Board of Trustees for a two year term. It is the responsibility of the Trustees to govern the CASID organization and its mission to further the economic and social revitalization occurring in Jersey City. Elected trustees volunteer their valued time with NO monetary compensation. They do, however, take pride in fulfilling their obligation to care for Jersey City as good neighbors.
