| About the Hall Institute | ||||
|
The Hall Institute is a non-partisan, not-for-profit foundation established to explore social, economic, educational and cultural issues. Our goal is to foster constructive debate and discussion and build a stronger, better New Jersey. Since our inception in 2005, the Hall Institute has been at the forefront of public policy in our state. We conduct research and present public forums on timely topical issues, such as public pensions, health care reform and higher education. The institute has had a strong presence in New Jersey's last three statewide elections by sponsoring online virtual debates that provide citizens with substantive information on where the candidates stand on the major issues confronting our state. The Hall Institute website features more than 500 papers and provides a platform for individuals and organizations to express opinions and offer ideas and suggestions. We also produce our own public affairs television program and use podcasts, blogs and social networking to share our work and seek feedback. In addition to our other activities, the institute has published three books -- The State of the Garden State, Reaction and Reform in New Jersey, and Into The New Millennium: New Jersey and The Nation. All three are compilations of the major papers posted on our website. A fourth volume, Creating A Common Future: New Jersey and Public Policy, was published online. Located in Trenton, the institute was established by George E. Hall, a successful business executive and a leading philanthropist who lives in Middletown, N.J. |
