29 “We are proud of the many successes we achieved in collaboration with our members, other stakeholders and partners in the state and federal governments. We look forward to continuing our relentless advocacy on issues that are expected to continue, such as the needs for expanded access and increased funding, as well as any other challenges that may arise that affect delivery of essential services,” said Debra L. Wentz, PhD, President and CEO of NJAMHAA. “In addition, we will continue to support our members in the transition to the ‘new normal’ to help ensure their viability for many years to come.” Looking ahead For FY2020, the unrestricted net asset balance for the New Jersey Mental Health Institute (NJMHI) was $8,083. Temporarily restricted net assets equaled $10,653, of which $10,000 represented a donation by Debra Wentz to be restricted for a reserve fund for NJMHI. This amount was received in 2009 from Eli Lilly and Company along with an award for Debra Wentz, and she chose NJMHI as the charitable organization for her donation. Together, NJAMHAA and NJMHI provide insights and recommendations for strengthening the behavioral healthcare system, which in turn, strengthens the community in order to ensure timely access to the most appropriate, highest quality treatment and support services for all New Jersey residents. The continued financial growth of NJAMHAA and NJMHI enables this mission to be effectively carried out.
