James T. Peeples , Executive Director. Every team needs an innovator, someone who thinks outside of the box.  James brings a political science background and deep understanding of politics/policies along with technical guidance and business process review to the team. Educated as a Public Administrator at Trenton State College (now The College of New Jersey), James used his previous learning in computers and electronics to go on to pursue an Information Technology/Network Engineering career with various firms, eventually landing with what became Siemens Business Services where he worked a decade. 9/11/01 changed a lot in various industries and in the wake of the economic downturn and various factors, James left Siemens and went on to form a small business and small office technology consulting firm called Peeples Choice Consulting, under which he still maintains several long time clients today. Also during that time, James joined forces with his family’s business and went on to become VP of Field Operations for Allied Federal Electric Corporation and he still maintains that supporting role today. James serves as president or vice president on several non-profit boards as he brings tremendous knowledge of nonprofits, policies, politics, and community organizing. The President at NTEPB (David) and James met and connected sometime in the mid-2000s. Conversations between David and James about his work in support of nonprofits and other community involvement led both men to see the value of partnering and begin to pursue opportunities related to personal development, community mental and social justice issues. James remains dedicated to his commitment to the community and involvement alongside David to help guide the organization and management structures that will help make this organization a success. James stays on the forefront of an ever evolving system of social justice and politics and consistently has new and innovative ideas to improve communities.
