Making friends and making a difference

Jessica Kitchin Murphy is a founding member of the Lake Hopatcong Foundation. She has served as president/executive director since our inception in 2012 and has been instrumental in guiding the organization from just an idea to the community leader we are today. It would be impossible to list all of the concepts, programs, and initiatives that she has a hand in creating, fostering, and growing. In short, we are who we are today, in great part, because of Jess.

Having grown up on Lake Hopatcong, Jess has always been part of the lake community, but her time with the Foundation has solidified so many friendships and connections that we thought it only fitting to celebrate that with a video of her time with us. 

As you take your leave, Jess, I know I speak for so many in the community when I say THANK YOU for your hard work, dedication, warmth, and vision.
