Banking on South Jersey: Navigating Complexity in a Changing Economy x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Chag Sameach! As families light the Menorah across South Jersey, we send our warmest wishes for a joyful and bright Hanukkah. May the miracle of light continue to shine in your homes and in our community.

South Jersey’s economy is unlike anywhere else. It runs on the rhythm of summer tourism along the Shore and the steady resilience of local businesses that keep our communities thriving year‑round. Community banks are at the center of this story, helping merchants, entrepreneurs, and families navigate seasonal cycles, inflation pressures, and national economic shifts. That’s why we’re bringing together leaders for Banking on South Jersey: Navigating Complexity in a Changing Economy. 🎥 Premieres Monday, December 22 at 7:00 p.m. 📍 Watch on southjerseyforward.org and across all our social media channels. Hear directly from: * Mike Affuso, President & CEO of the New Jersey Bankers Association * Tony DeSalle, President & CEO of CrestSavings Bank * Dave Hanrahan, President & CEO of Century Savings Bank They will share insights on lending, regulation, and the unique role local banks play in keeping South Jersey strong.

Happy Thanksgiving from South Jersey Forward! We hope you have a joyous day filled with good food and great company.

In town for the League of Municipalities, or a local who loves good coffee? Everyone’s welcome to join us next month @haydaycoffee!

Thank you for the kind words @CCSNJ and my thanks to @BINJENEWS for running our @SJ_Forward op-ed on why North Jersey casinos will do little to combat downstate New York casinos.
