N.J. residents to be honored with Citizen Leadership Awards

    Five New Jersey residents will be honored next week at a ceremony for the inaugural Citizen Leadership Awards.

    Cynthia Mosley of Newark, Tracy Jordan of Perth Amboy, Tamra Marsh of Camden, Linda Murray of Willingboro and Eric Kipnis of Cherry Hill will be at the Citizens Campaign gala in North Jersey Monday.

    Marsh helped Camden and its school board adopt a better process for obtaining insurance coverage that will save the city more than $4 million.
