Isles Hosts Fall Forum 2025: Cities for the Future October 30
Annual Forum Brings Together Mayors, Community Leaders, and Environmental Experts to Address Critical Urban Challenges
HAMILTON TOWNSHIP, NJ – Isles, Inc. will host its annual Fall Forum 2025: Cities for the Future on Thursday, October 30, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM at the Social Profit Center at Mill One, 1 N Johnston Ave, Hamilton Township, NJ 08609. The day-long event will convene municipal leaders, state officials, nonprofit organizations, and community stakeholders to address critical challenges facing New Jersey's cities, including extreme heat, lead poisoning, and sustainable transportation.
The forum will feature a keynote panel of mayors from across New Jersey, including Mayor Ras Baraka of Newark, Mayor Reed Gusiora of Trenton, Mayor Quinton Law of Moorestown, and Mayor Jody Veler of Salem. These municipal leaders will share their latest sustainability and infrastructure initiatives and discuss approaches to the key challenges facing cities, townships, and boroughs across the state.
"Cities are the foundation of New Jersey, and the challenges they face—from extreme heat to aging infrastructure—require collaborative, innovative solutions," said Sean Jackson, CEO of Isles. "Our Fall Forum brings together the leaders who are on the front lines of these issues to connect, learn from each other, and take action."
The forum will feature three topic tracks throughout the day:
-
Extreme Heat: Protecting Our Communities – Sessions will address urban heat island mitigation, cooling center resources, and workplace heat safety. Panelists from state agencies including NJ DEP, NJ BPU, and the Department of Labor will discuss best practices and upcoming funding opportunities.
-
Microtransit & Safe Streets – Workshops will explore community-driven clean transportation, including an interactive session on building community rideshare programs using Isles' GOTrenton! EV microtransit as a case study. Additional panels will address safe street design and Vision Zero initiatives.
-
Lead and Healthy Homes – Sessions will focus on bringing lead awareness to maternal and child health services, implementing lead safe housing practices, and advocacy for sustainable lead funding as ARPA funds face a 2027 fiscal cliff.
The day will conclude with closing remarks from Marcus Sibley, Chair of the NJ Progressive Equitable Energy Coalition and Northeast Director of Conservation Partnerships for the National Wildlife Federation, who will challenge attendees to turn learning into action for a more equitable and sustainable future.
The event begins at 8:30 AM with breakfast and networking. For more information and to register, visit www.isles.org.
