Timothy F. McGoughran, a former trustee, is on track to serve as the 125th president of the association in 2023.

The friendships I have enjoyed as a member of the NJSBA have made me a better person," he said "I look forward to giving back my time to continue the growth of the NJSBA and providing greater benefits for our members."
McGoughran established an Ocean Township law firm that concentrates on handling divorce, estate and family law matters. He served as municipal prosecutor in Ocean Township for over a decade, concluding in 2011. Since January 2012, he has been the municipal court judge in Ocean Township.
