The NJBIZ ICON Awards recognize New Jersey business leaders over the age of 60 for their notable success and demonstration of strong leadership both within and outside of their chosen field. Honorees will also be profiled in a future publication inserted in NJBIZ, New Jersey’s leading business journal.
Mr. Doll’s background includes nearly 40 years of experience in investor-owned water and wastewater utility management.
