Richard Rosen moved to Voorhees in December 2019 after growing up, and living most of his life, in Northern NJ.  He has two adult children; and now, lives with his husband John, who wanted to return to his roots in South Jersey.  Richard has embraced the diversity and warmth of the community, its proximity to Philadelphia, and the wealth of cultural offerings.  His free time is focused on the gym, biking and hiking throughout the surrounding areas, frequently visiting museums, historic homes, attending an array of performing arts and learning Hungarian.

After initially pursuing architecture at NJIT, Richard subsequently switched directions and graduated with a BS in Accounting from Yeshiva University in NYC.  He has a CPA, and just retired from a 38-year career in finance as the CFO, and most recently, the VP of Business Operations, for two large not-for-profit health care organizations in NYC.  His experience is in financial management and oversight of business operations for community-based health care organizations providing care for over 16,000 patients daily in the greater NYC area.  During his tenure, he was a key member of the team that built 15 community health centers which allowed him to stay connected to his original love of architecture.  He has experience in budgeting, financial modeling, internal controls, workflow processes, financial and operational performance reporting and, to a slightly lessor degree, facility design.  Although not an attorney, after working closely with lawyers over the last 38 years on contracts, litigation, legislation, and regulatory compliance, he understands much of their language.

Richard’s motivation to become involved in the local school board was after he became concerned about the politicization of the education system.  His goal is to ensure that public education continues to offer a comprehensive educational curriculum, unencumbered by political agendas, and to protect student rights to learn, grow and develop into productive members of society who can make their own decisions and exercise their right to free expression.  He hopes to inspire our youth to take advantage of all that the public school system can offer.

He has a proven track record of building relationships, independently managing projects, and utilizing technology/automation to drive efficiency in business operations and addressing and resolving business and legal issues. Jacob is able to navigate the fine line between legal risks and business/organizational needs to effectively solve complex problems, skills which enable him to be a thoughtful and effective board member.
