Leslie Anderson
Anderson is the president and chief executive officer of the New Jersey Redevelopment Authority the first and only African-American woman in the nation to lead an independent redevelopment financing agency, and thanks to her effectiveness she has been reappointed to this position by four consecutive governors.
