Michele Siekerka, president and CEO of the New Jersey Business & Industry Association (NJBIA), will join other business leaders to discuss 2026 market trends, strategy, and board governance at the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) New Jersey’s Economic Overview Breakfast. The event is scheduled for January 14 in Princeton.
The NACD NJ Economic Overview Breakfast is designed to offer networking opportunities and provide directors with information to help them identify organizational risks, adjust board priorities according to changing market conditions, and support long-term growth and resilience. These aspects are considered important for effective board oversight and decision-making.
Mike Soccio, executive vice president and treasurer at Citizens Bank, will present the main economic forecast during the breakfast event. The session runs from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at Jasna Polana in Princeton.
Following Soccio’s presentation, NACD Director Richard Mroz will moderate a discussion on the economies of New Jersey and the region. Panelists include Siekerka and Jane Kenny, an independent director at New Jersey Resources and managing partner of Whitman Strategy Group.
Siekerka leads what is described as “the state’s most influential employer association championing a more affordable and competitive business climate.” She also serves as an NACD NJ Director and sits on the boards of Citizens Financial Group, the New Jersey Innovation Institute, and Junior Achievement of New Jersey.
