Tracy Silna Zur, MPA'18

Tracy Silna Zur has served for twelve years as a Bergen County Commissioner. Among her many accomplishments while commissioner, she spearheaded the Bergen County Food Security Task Force, which evolved into the Office of Food Security, in response to the impact of the economic crisis caused by the pandemic. Through this task force, she secured $4 million dollars to fight food insecurity. This enabled the County of Bergen to provide critical infrastructure such as computers, refrigerators, and freezers, as well as an emergency food supply, to prevent pantries from falling short due to supply chain challenges. Zur received her MPA from Rutgers SPAA in 2018 and was awarded the SPAA Distinguished Alumni Award for Practitioner Excellence in 2020.
