A session on "Ethics in Government" was presented by the Holland Program at the New Jersey League of Municipalities' annual convention in Atlantic City, as it has been for many years. Paul Franzese, Seton Hall law professor and past chair of the State Ethics Commission, was the keynote speaker with responses from Bill Kearns, Jr., general counsel to the League of Municipalities, Bill Schluter, former New Jersey state legislator, and John Weingart, associate director of the Eagleton Institute. Sophie Heymann, mayor of Closter, presided over the discussion, which was attended by 300 local officials.

In 2009, about 300 local officials heard a discussion on ethical factors to consider when municipal and county governments seek to extend their reach through collaborations with non-profit organizations. The keynote speaker was David Grant, President of the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, with responses from Louise Wilson, Mayor of Montgomery Township, and Jeffrey Vega, Executive Director of New Brunswick Tomorrow and an alumnus of the Eagleton Fellowship Program.
