New Jersey Institute of Technology President Teik C. Lim has joined the Board of Trustees of the New Jersey Business & Industry Association, as the association expands its board.

Lim is among three new trustees; the other two are Gary Fisch, founder and CEO of Gary's Wine and Marketplace and Sarah Switlik, chief operating officer of Switlik Survival Products.

"The valuable input and experience they bring to our highly engaged board further supports our mission to advance the competitive excellence of all New Jersey businesses," said NJBIA President and CEO Michele Siekerka, in a statement.

NJIT's president becomes the second higher education leader to serve on the 20-member board, after County College of Morris President Anthony Iacono. Others represent organizations as diverse as McDonald's, AT&T, Amazon, PSE&G, Citizens Bank and RWJBarnabas Health.
