"Sidney Hargro, executive director of the Community Foundation of New Jersey, will be this year's keynote speaker."

Isn't Mr. Hargro the Executive Director of the Community Foundation of South Jersey?

You are absolutely correct - I just copied the notice from the Daily Journal.

I have not personally heard this speaker but am told that he is absolutely superb and comes from a grass roots level.
