This special editorial feature celebrates a diverse array of LGBTQ professionals who have made significant contributions to advancing equality within the workplace and in New Jersey.
“I am honored to be included in this list of peers, civil servants, and elected officials whose tremendous efforts to create change and promote equality are renowned,” said Karl. “I strive to build and foster relationships along with a culture where those relationships can grow openly—one that is strengthened by understanding the value of each other’s’ unique perspectives. I appreciate being recognized as a notable leader in the LGBTQ community and look forward to working alongside my fellow honorees in the future.”
“From advocacy to government service to the private sector, these individuals have distinguished themselves as leaders in our state’s vibrant LGBTQIA+ community,” Governor [Phil] Murphy said. “My Administration will continue to work closely with all honorees to build a stronger, fairer, and more inclusive New Jersey.”
Karl was chosen for his extensive history of professional, civic, and philanthropic achievements, including serving as Board Member and President of the LGBT Bar Association & Foundation of Greater New York (“LeGal”), serving on the Essex County LGBTQ Advisory Board, and most recently starting his tenure as President-Elect of the National Association for Law Placement (“NALP”).
