He will serve until the November 2008 general election
Democrat Glen Griffiths, of Baldwin Street, has joined Pennington Borough Council.
Mr. Griffiths was sworn in Dec. 12 after council voted unanimously to appoint him to replace Robert Di Falco, who resigned Nov. 19.
Mr. Griffiths will serve until the November 2008 general election.
A self-employed businessman, Mr. Griffiths, 54, is a graduate of DePaul University, Chicago, with a bachelor’s degree in new business planning. Mr. Griffiths formed Patient Relationship Marketing, Inc. in 2004 to serve the pharmaceutical and managed care industries.
The firm “combines the principles of healthcare behavior change, technology, and creative communication arts to deliver measurable change in healthcare behavior, including medication adherence, diet and exercise. My work includes helping patients with arthritis, multiple sclerosis, cancer, heart disease and diabetes overcome the challenges of these diseases to lead a higher quality of life,” Mr. Griffiths said Tuesday.
He also has worked for Procter & Gamble (international sales manager, Latin America), Johnson & Johnson (McNeil Consumer Products Company, for which he was a vice president); and Publicis Healthcare Group (Nelson Communications, Inc., for which he served as chairman of Nelson Direct, Inc. from 1998-2004).
Council will meet one more time this year, on Dec. 26, to finish up some 2007 business. Mr. Griffiths will take the oath of office again at that meeting, so his family members may be present for the ceremony, borough officials said.
Mr. Di Falco defeated Republican Lance Lewis in the Nov. 6 election in a contest to complete an unexpired term. Mr. Di Falco resigned less than two weeks after being elected because state law prohibits him from serving on council at the same time he is on the board of directors of Mercer County Community College. He said he did not realize that the law prohibited him from doing both jobs when he ran in the election.
Mr. Di Falco has been on the community college’s board three and a half years.
The six-member Pennington Council and Mayor Tony Persichilli are all Democrats.
