It is difficult to find a more honest, hard-working and effective public servant than Jerry Del Rosso. He has been my county administrator since 2005. Jerry is highly respected inside and outside county government. We are all better as a result of his management and leadership. He has left an indelible mark and has contributed greatly to Atlantic County's success. In May, Del Rosso was recognized by the New Jersey Association of Counties with the County Administrator Lifetime Achievement Award at its annual conference in Atlantic City, for his lifelong and unwavering dedication to public service and for always being a kind, thoughtful, and resourceful gentleman, said Levinson.
