Jerry Keenan

I'm President of the New Jersey Alliance for Action, one of the state’s most respected and influential advocates for infrastructure investment and capital construction.  We represent thousands of New Jersey business, labor, government, academic, utility, healthcare and other decision-makers.

For more than 50 years, the Alliance has brought together leaders from business, labor, government, utilities, transportation, academia, and healthcare and more - all united around one mission: Building a Better Future for New Jersey.

I'm proud to lead a non-partisan and non-profit association founded in 1974 that works every day to strengthen the economy by promoting environmentally friendly capital construction, securing funding and permits for major projects, and creating new business opportunities for our members.

Under my leadership, the Alliance has expanded dramatically — reaching record membership growth, sold-out events, and a stronger voice in shaping the state’s infrastructure priorities.

Most of my time is spent bringing decision-makers and industry leaders together, spotlighting major projects, and making sure Alliance for Action members know where the next business opportunities are.

Whether it’s transportation, energy, water, higher education, healthcare, data centers, or emerging technologies, I'm focused on the projects and policies that move New Jersey forward.

My work also includes producing major statewide conferences, testifying on key issues, developing strategic white papers for elected officials, and elevating the incredible engineering, construction, and design work happening across the state.

I've served by appointment of past Governors and Cabinet officials on various commissions, including Governor Phil Murphy’s Restart and Recovery Advisory Council, the Penn Station Reconstruction – Station Advisory Working Group, the New Jersey Environmental Infrastructure Trust, the New Jersey Transit Joint Business Alliance, the State Congestion Busters Task Force and the Committee for a Smart New Jersey.  I also serve on the New Jersey Committee of the Regional Plan Association and am recognized as an Honored Listee on the Marquis Who’s Who.

The Alliance for Action is Building A Better Future.
