Chris Daggett Named CEO of Dodge Foundation

Former independent candidate for governor of New Jersey, Chris Daggett, has been named CEO of the Dodge Foundation.  From NJ.com:

As independent candidate for governor last year, Chris Daggett was viewed as an intelligent outsider who refused to sugarcoat the state’s problems. Critics lambasted his focus on the facts, describing him as a policy wonk who didn’t grasp the bigger picture. Potential voters listened to his in-depth plans.

In the end, the qualities that raised this maverick’s profile led to his loss at the polls. Now, Daggett brings his detailed focus and intellectual approach to the nonprofit sector where he will serve as the next president and CEO of the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation in Morristown, one of the largest private foundations in the state.
