A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made the inaugural MAATSE 2026 Conference a success. We're especially grateful to our New Jersey members and partners who traveled to Virginia to represent our state and help advance the conversation around clean transportation.

A special thank you to Chuck Feinberg, Chairman of the NJCCC Board, for moderating the fleet transportation panel, and to Emil Bobev of Atlantic County Utilities Authority for sharing his expertise as a panelist. We're also proud of our member Harbinger for showcasing its electric trucks and helping attendees experience the future of commercial transportation firsthand.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this inaugural event a success. We look forward to continuing the partnerships and momentum sparked this week.
