ROSELAND, NJ (December 13, 2001)--John J. Clancy, President and CEO of Community Education Centers (CEC) will serve on Governor-elect James McGreevey’s transition team.

Mr. Clancy has been asked to serve on the transition team’s corrections committee, which will make recommendations and advise McGreevey about the needs of the corrections system in New Jersey.

Governor-elect McGreevey paid a visit to CEC’s flagship facility, Talbot Hall, on Christmas Eve last year. Mr. McGreevey spent more than three hours speaking with the 500 residents, encouraging them to make lasting changes in their lives by taking full advantage of the treatment programs offered at Talbot Hall.

"I am honored to serve on this committee and look forward to helping to determine the future of corrections in New Jersey," said Clancy. "Corrections is an important issue in New Jersey, where prison costs and the availability of correctional treatment continue to be major areas of concern."
