Liz has been helping us organize our maps and she also recently wrote about our latest Speaker Series event. We’re so glad she’s going to stick around for more! Here’s what you need to know:
Elizabeth J. (“Liz”) Rosenthal is honored to be invited to serve on the Board of Trustees of the Historical Society of Moorestown. She recently retired from 28 years of service in New Jersey State government as legal liaison for the Civil Service Commission. Liz is also the author of two books.
