Business Group Appoints New State Director

On Jan 7, 2020

The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) announced that Eileen Kean has been appointed New Jersey state director.

NFIB’s Executive Director of State Government Relations Tim Goodrich says Kean brings vast government relations and business experience to the organization.

He added, “Small business owners can be negatively impacted by increased costs or rigid labor mandates, and any number of legislative proposals can threaten their very existence. Eileen will be able to explain to lawmakers the impact bills could have on a small business owners’ daily operation or their success in the marketplace.”

Kean, a partner at Komjathy and Kean, has decades of lobbying experience both in Trenton and Washington, D.C.

NFIB says she has developed many relationships at the state Capitol while representing both associations and private businesses.

Kean currently serves as a commissioner for the Monmouth County Board of Elections, is a trustee for Drumthwacket (the official residence of the Governor), and serves as a member of the NJ Board of Pharmacy. She previously served as chief executive officer of the Independent Insurance Agents of New Jersey and, additionally, as president of the Deal School Board of Education.

“I look forward to advocating for small business owners who are risk takers, job creators, and pillars of their communities,” Kean said. “These entrepreneurs are busy people working long hours to grow their businesses. I will ensure their voices are heard loud and clear by policymakers in Trenton so they can focus on what they do best.”
