Picture

Charles Hill Jones

The Rumson St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee is pleased to announce that Charles Hill Jones is the Parade’s 2022 Grand Marshal.  

A graduate of the Groton School in Massachusetts, and the University of Virginia with a BA in Economics, Charles Hill Jones was raised in New York City and Northern Virginia. After spending a decade in Manhattan, Charlie and his wife of 60 years, Hope Haskell Jones, returned to Hope’s roots in Monmouth County to raise their three children, daughter Hope (Martha’s Vineyard), and sons Charles Hill III (Rumson), and Henry MT (Atlanta) in Rumson.

Charlie’s career in financial services with a special interest in security analysis spanned multiple business sectors, including senior management positions as Vice President and Director of Research at Wood, Struthers & Winthrop, Inc. in New York; Senior Vice President and Chief Investment Officer at Midlantic National Bank in Edison, NJ; Chairman and President of New Jersey Title Insurance; and Partner, President and Treasurer of Edge Partners, Ltd., where he is still active. 

Together with Hope, who served as President of the Monmouth County Historical Association for several years, the Jones’ have devoted themselves to multiple civic and educational organizations.  Hope’s father Amory Haskell was the Founder and Chairman of the Monmouth Park Jockey Club and originated the annual charity fundraiser The Monmouth County Hunt Race Meet, known as “The Hunt”, which was held for many years on the Haskell property in Middletown.  

Charlie supported the governance of multiple organizations, notably on the Board of Directors of NJT Holdings, Home Port Bank Corp., and Jefferson Savings & Loan Association. He has also served as President of the Board of Trustees of Rumson Country Day School; Trustee and Treasurer of the Child Service Organization in Newark, NJ; Trustee of Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia; and Trustee and Chairman of the Finance Committee for Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch, NJ. Charlie is a member of the CFA Institute and received the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award.
​

Currently Charlie and Hope split their time between their homes in Little Silver and Palm Beach, Florida.
