New Jersey is blessed with one of the most public spirited public servants in the person of its new Lieutenant Governor Dale Caldwell. For the past three decades, Dale has labored actively and creatively to eradicate poverty in distressed areas employing the tools of education and business. Founder of the education-enhancing Dale Caldwell Foundation – promoter of family business as director the Rothman Institute of Innovation and Entrepreneurship – Co-director (with this writer) of the Prometheus Social Enterprise Awards – Pastor of Covenant United Methodist Church – President of Centenary University – and, for the past four years founding director of the Entrepreneur Zones Movement – just name not even a third of his service projects.
It has been my privilege to serve on the board of Dale’s Entrepreneur Zones (EZones) Movement and witness the gathering momentum provided from talented coaches and dedicated social entrepreneurs across the nation. Now, in his position as Lieutenant Governor, Dale brought on board the power of the state, its agencies, and a team of markedly experienced staff members. Our first meeting literally surged with hope, energy, and practical solutions for developing several impoverished areas in New Jersey. Yes, this is your government at work – for the betterment
