New Jersey chapter needs new coordinator

Post by grabiner »

I have moved to Maryland and thus can no longer manage the New Jersey Bogleheads chapter, which does not have regular meetings but remains as a mailing list. If someone would like to take the chapter over and become the mailing list manager, please let me know at njbogleheads@verizon.net. If there is no volunteer, the chapter will disband.

With chapters in New York City and Philadelphia, most NJ Bogleheads have a local group to attend, and the NJ chapter was not large enough to support regular meetings. I retained the chapter as a mailing list, which could be used to announce special NJ events of interest to Bogleheads.

Any other New Jersey members interested in starting back up?

I'm in the Bridgewater area and would like share ideas and learnings with others locally.

Anyone up for restarting the new jersey chapter?

I'm glad to organize if there is interest.

I live in Northern NJ - near Morristown and would be interested in participating. Bridgewater Mall is about 40 min from me and is reasonably convenient.

So is there a coordinator? If not, how hard could it be to run? I might do it.

If you'd like to be the new coordinator, please PM me with your name and an email you'd like to use for this purpose and I'll add your name to the Local Chapters Map so others can find and contact you.

Welcome to the forum! I left NJ more than two years ago, and we still need a volunteer to run a chapter. (If none exists, check out the New York or Philadelphia chapters, depending on where you live in the state.)

We need a volunteer to run the chapter, and some interested members. The mailing list still exists but has no activity and nobody has volunteered either here or there to take over the chapter.

Would anyone be interested in a joint meetup with ChooseFI's Northern NJ chapter? A lot of us have the same goals and it adds more people

Yes, I would be interested in a Northern NJ meeting - hopefully you mean Bergen County.

Thank you.

The best I would be willing to go is Union County area I have family there. I’m located outside LBI. Bergen County is a far ride for me.

I don't think there is. There may be a group on Facebook, but I can't find it.

Otherwise, no one has taken up the reigns to organize a Nj Chapter.
