Suzanne Brennan of Howell was sworn in as the newest member of the Brookdale Community College Board of Trustees on Sept. 12 during the board’s monthly public meeting at the college’s Wall Township campus.
Brennan, who is a practicing attorney and a lifelong resident of Monmouth County, currently serves as the municipal public defender for Howell, according to a press release from the college.
She was a member of the Howell K-8 School District Board of Education from 2010-16, where she served terms as vice president and chair of the board’s labor committee.
Brennan is a native of Freehold Township and a mother of three. She maintains a private law practice in Howell.
“I am very honored and excited to be a part of this magnificent team,” Brennan said. “The Brookdale board is innovative and forward-thinking, and I appreciate that. I hope to use my skills and experience in both the law and as a former board of education member to help local students succeed and serve all members of the Monmouth County community.”
Brennan was appointed to a four-year term on the board by the Monmouth County Board of Freeholders. She replaces former trustee Joseph DiBella, who served on the board from 2013-17, according to the press release.
