Former New Jersey Regulator Joins Board of Community Bank

A former New Jersey banking and insurance regulator has been named to the North Jersey Community Bancorp board of directors.

Steven M. Goldman, who served as commissioner of banking and insurance under Gov. Jon S. Corzine, is currently a partner in the law firm of Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankle LLP.

As commissioner, Goldman developed a plan to help New Jersey respond to the mortgage foreclosure crisis. He also originated a regional compact for New Jersey banks with New York and Pennsylvania.

Previously, he was a senior partner at law firm Sills, Cummis & Gross where he represented banks in the financing of acquisitions and recapitalizations.

NJCB offers financial services for both personal and business customers, including mortgages, home equity loans and lines of credit, as well as commercial services.
