 Director - External Affairs Hi. I'm Maurice Brown, Director - External Affairs. I am responsible for community relations, local government affairs, economic, consumer and education relations and local media relations for Essex County. I also am responsible for African-American and urban initiatives in New Jersey and local corporate philanthropy and employee volunteerism. I began my career at New Jersey Bell in 1971 as a frame attendant. Previous job responsibilities include training as an employment interviewer and recruiter, an EEO investigator, an assistant manager in Network Operations and an engineer. I am a former President of the Consortium of Information and Telecommunication Executives, Inc. of Bell Atlantic and former President of the Council of Action for Minority Professionals of Bell Atlantic-New Jersey. As an executive member of the New Brunswick Branch of the NAACP, I served as Second Vice President of the NJ State Conference of NAACP Branches through 1999. I am a Commissioner for the Montclair Civil Rights Commission and serve on both the Essex County Workforce Investment Board and the Newark Workforce Investment Board. I am a Bloomfield College Board of Trustee and serve on the boards for the Essex County 200 Club, Integrity House and the Hudson County Urban League. I also serve on the Advisory Boards for The College Fund/UNCF in New Jersey, La Casa de Don Pedro and the Newark Museum. I was a recipient of the New Jersey YMCA's Black Achiever Award in 1994 and was recognized by City News of Plainfield as a corporate achiever in 1995 and one of New Jersey's "100 Most Influential" in the urban community. Last year I was honored by Project Re-Direct's Youth and Family Services, as one of the recipients of its "Men of Valor" awards. As a graduate of Newark College of Engineering, now known as New Jersey Institute of Technology, I majored in electrical engineering. In 1970, I founded the Black Association of Student Engineers located at NJIT. I am a 2001 graduate of Leadership NJ. In addition, I have completed advance management programs at the Wharton School of Business and Boston College. As a Director - External Affairs, I would be more than happy to talk with you about the kinds of services Verizon offers. I also can share with you Verizon's many education, urban and economic development initiatives in the state.
