Volunteer Efforts
Boards & Service
One of the ways in which the New Jersey Association of Health Plans and its member companies contribute to New Jersey’s policymakers is through volunteer efforts on State Boards, Commissions and Authorities with representatives of other stakeholder groups and individuals. Participation on these entities is sometimes by appointment, sometimes by election, and is without pay. NJAHP staff and representatives of member companies volunteer their time and expertise for, among other entities, the following:
- Sandy Kelly, Horizon
- Wardell Sanders, NJAHP
- Lisa Levine, UnitedHealthcare
