8 Campus Drive

PARSIPPANY — Accounting and advisory firm Marks Paneth LLP has signed a long-term lease for 13,823 square feet at 8 Campus Drive, located at Mack-Cali Business Campus announced Colliers International Group Inc.. The global commercial real estate services firm represented Marks Paneth in the transaction, which signifies the company’s operational expansion into New Jersey.

John Cunningham of Colliers’ Parsippany office headed the assignment with Michael Cohen and Andy Roos. Based in New York, Cohen and Roos represent Marks Paneth regionally. Brian Decillis served as in-house representative for Mack-Cali, which owns the award winning 215,265-square-foot, LEED-Silver-certified office property.

Headquartered in New York City, Marks Paneth offers a range of accounting, auditing, tax, consulting, restructuring, bankruptcy and financial advisory services to domestic and international clients. The firm employs more than 600 people, including over 80 partners and principals, with revenues in excess of $112 million. With roots dating back to 1907, it is the 34th largest accounting firm in the nation and the eighth largest in the Mid-Atlantic region, according to Accounting Today.

“Marks Paneth’s business in New Jersey is growing,” Cunningham said. “The firm’s senior management wanted to establish a presence in Morris County, at a well-amenitized, high-profile property. This building offers a great look and feel, and it is part of the Mack-Cali Business Campus, which is emerging as a true ‘downtown’ environment, with onsite hotels, daycare, restaurants, fitness centers and shuttle service to the Morris Plains train station.  Future improvements on the Campus will include a Wegmans Supermarket, upgraded food services, expanded and upgraded fitness centers, jogging paths and walking trails, improved outdoor spaces, new restaurants, and new signage.

According to Cunningham, the Marks Paneth lease reflects an ongoing trend of flight to quality among Morris County office users. “Tenants in the local market are being drawn to properties that provide a first-class image and quality accommodations for servicing clients, and attracting and retaining top talent,” he said. “In the case of Marks Paneth, the company appreciated the opportunity to partner with a quality landlord at a property that can accommodate its continued growth.”

“We’re delighted about the prospects for future growth this new office facility presents for our firm,” said Harry Moehringer, managing partner at Marks Paneth. “Over the years, Colliers has been a key partner in our expansion across the mid-Atlantic region – and, once again, with their assistance, we have secured world-class office space in Parsippany in which to work and serve our clients.”

United Way Needs Volunteers to Meet Demand for Free Tax Prep

MORRIS COUNTY — United Way of Northern New Jersey is seeking volunteers to meet the growing demand for its free tax preparation program, which helps those living paycheck to paycheck avoid the high cost of preparation fees during the upcoming tax season.

Last year, United Way teamed up with the IRS, community partners and local volunteers to file more than 5,800 free tax returns across the region, putting $5.7 million in returns back into residents’ pockets and the local economy.

 “We saw a 25 percent increase in the number of families coming to us for help from the previous year,” said United Way CEO John Franklin. “Without the help of committed volunteers, we cannot address this need.”

To learn about the program and speak with current volunteer tax preparers, residents are invited to a breakfast on Saturday, October 15 from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at the Visiting Nurse Association of Somerset Hills, 200 Mt. Airy Road, Basking Ridge.

For those committing to volunteer, the first step involves watching a one hour webinar that provides an overview of the tax program and the volunteer opportunities available. Three sessions of the webinar are scheduled for:

·         October 20 at 5:00 p.m.

·         November 1 at 12:00 noon

·         November 30 at 5:00 p.m.

“Our volunteers tell us that they actually look forward to tax season because the experience is so rewarding,” Franklin said. “This is a great way to get involved and give back to your community.”

For more information or to register for the webinar or breakfast, email by clicking here, call (973) 993-1160 ext. 529 or visit here.

CCM Professors Promote the Value of Community Colleges

Dr. Charles Selengut and Dr. Jill Schennum, professors at County College of Morris, are on a mission to promote the value of community colleges

RANDOLPH — Dr. Charles Selengut and Dr. Jill Schennum, professors from the Department of Sociology, Economics and Anthropology at County College of Morris (CCM), along with their former colleague Dr. Olivia Hetzler, are on a mission to promote the value of community colleges.

Most recently, the three authored an article on “Sociology, Stigma and Community Colleges” for the American Sociological Association (ASA) newsletter. In that article, they noted, “It is highly important today to recognize the significant role of community colleges in the public higher education system and to make them visible and avoid negative labeling.”

Two years ago they also led a panel discussion at the ASA annual conference on the contributions of community college professors.

“We plan to continue our efforts,” says Selengut, the author of two nationally recognized books on religious violence. “People need to realize the quality of the faculty that can be found at community colleges.”

His books are “Our Promised Land: Faith and Militant Zionism in Israeli Settlements” (Rowman & Littlefield) and “Sacred Fury: Understanding Religious Violence” (AltaMira Press).

Prompting the professors’ efforts is the resistance each has encountered as a community college faculty member. For one, it was a publisher who did not want to include a community college affiliation in the author’s bio because it felt it would limit the book’s acceptance as a scholarly work. For another, it was being rejected by a prestigious academic publisher because of the lack of affiliation with a selective liberal arts college or research university. And for another, it was being told as a Ph.D. student that teaching at a community college was an “invisible option.”

Yet, all three value their experience as community college faculty. And while Hetzler recently left her position at CCM to relocate back to the Midwest, she continues to serve on the ASA’s community college task force.

Schennum, who has authored a book on the economic disparities that resulted from the loss of union jobs following the closing of Bethlehem Steel, says she particularly values being a teacher at a community college. Her book is due to be published in early 2017.

“I love teaching at a community college where you can really focus on your students, rather than teaching in a large lecture format,” she says. “Community colleges also attract a very diverse student body, and what we offer is a high quality education that is affordable and accessible so people can realize their potential.”

“The quality of the work experience at a community college is something to really appreciate,” says Selengut. “It’s friendly and intimate.”

 If Selengut and Schennum have their way, awareness about the quality of the faculty and learning experience at community colleges will continue to grow.

As they note in their article, “We must overcome the status and prestige distinctions that separate faculty across the United States.” Central to that, they add, “is making community colleges more visible.”

Jim Gannon Commends Linden City Police Officers for their Heroism

Sheriff James Michael Gannon

Republican candidate for Morris County Sheriff released the following statement today in the wake of the apprehension of terror suspect Ahmad Khan Rahami by Linden City Police Officers earlier this week.

“At the outset of my campaign for Sheriff back in early February, I pointed to the need for the next Sheriff to have the ability to work closely with federal, state and local law enforcement, and to possess the experience required to bring a new level of vigilance to the Morris County Sheriff’s Office,” said Gannon. “Terrorism is not just a federal problem for federal law enforcement to deal with; that was proven again this past week.”

“I commend the brave Linden police officers who apprehended an armed and dangerous terror suspect in their city, and who demonstrated the life and death realities faced by local officers every day,” added Gannon, who also commended members of the Joint Terrorism Task Force, NYPD, Ocean & Union County authorities and all first responders and emergency management personnel in Morris County and around the country. “If I am fortunate enough to win in November and take the oath of office next January, I will deliver on my campaign pledge to strengthen the county’s preparedness to deal with Islamic radicals, whether homegrown or entering the country from outside, who seek to do us harm.”

As a law enforcement professional with over three decades of experience ranging from a local beat cop in Boonton and Boonton Township, to Deputy Chief of Investigations at the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office, to a member of the FBI’s elite Joint Terrorism Task Force, to the Global Head of Security Risk at a Fortune 500 company like Novartis, Jim Gannon is uniquely qualified to confront the current challenges facing law enforcement and to keep Morris County’s families safe.
