PARSIPPANY — Frank Cahill has been named President of the Board of Directors of Parsippany Community Professionals.
The organization said Cahill brings decades of experience in business development, networking, community service and local leadership, and that he will play an important role in advancing its mission of connecting businesses, creating opportunities, encouraging collaboration and strengthening the community as it settles into its new home at the Parsippany PAL and prepares for its inaugural meeting in January.
Parsippany Community Professionals is a business networking organization sponsored by the Parsippany-Troy Hills Police Athletic League and based at the PAL, 33 Baldwin Road. It brings together business owners, entrepreneurs, executives and community leaders to build meaningful connections, grow professionally and strengthen the local business community. Its goal is a networking experience that goes beyond traditional meetings, with interactive events, business showcases, professional development, social gatherings and community initiatives. While the PAL is its home, its activities reach throughout Greater Parsippany, including events at local restaurants and businesses.
A central part of its mission is collaboration, not competition. It works alongside existing chambers of commerce, business associations and networking groups, and partners with Parsippany-Troy Hills Township and its economic development efforts. Members support new businesses through ribbon-cutting celebrations, highlight established ones and give back to the community. The organization was a main sponsor of the Morris County Business Expo at the PAL, which drew nearly 300 attendees and 50 exhibitors. It has also donated $5,000 to the Parsippany PAL and celebrated its first ribbon cutting, welcoming The Yard Gym to Parsippany.
The organization is led by a Board of Directors of up to seven members. Each board seat represents a single business category, and general membership is open with no limit. All membership applications are reviewed and approved by the board. Business owners, entrepreneurs and community-minded professionals interested in joining, serving on the founding board or learning about upcoming events can apply at parsippanycommunityprofessionals.com or call (973) 845-3003.
Cahill grew up in Wayne and is a graduate of Wayne Hills High School. He attended William Paterson College and Fairleigh Dickinson University, where he majored in accounting.
A Parsippany resident, Cahill is the owner and Publisher of Parsippany Focus, which he founded more than 37 years ago. He also publishes the Dover, Hanover, Jefferson and Morris editions of Focus Publications. He previously served as an Executive Board member of the Parsippany Area Chamber of Commerce. He currently chairs the Parsippany-Troy Hills Economic Development Advisory Committee, where he has organized the township’s ribbon cuttings for about nine years.
A Kiwanian for more than three decades, Cahill is the current President of the Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany and Immediate Past Governor of the New Jersey District of Kiwanis International. He previously served as a board member of the Cooley’s Anemia Foundation and supports WISE Animal Rescue, the Parsippany-based nonprofit that places rescued dogs in foster homes until they are adopted. A devoted dog lover, he has fostered dogs for local rescues and currently shares his home with two rescued dogs, Gus and Sam.
