Governor Chris Christie, former governors Tom Kean, James Floris, Don DiFrancesco, Jim McGreevey and Jon Corzine were among the attendees. George E. Norcross III, chairman of the Board of Trustees of Cooper University Health Care, also attended and spoke of John Sheridan’s time as the former CEO and president of Cooper Health System.
