NJBIA is celebrating its 100-year anniversary!

February marks NJBIA's 100-year anniversary.  As an organization, we are proud to have served the State's employers for 100 years, through good times and bad. Below, you can read NJBIA President Philip Kirschner's letter to members, or read our Business Voice story on the history of the Association.

Dear NJBIA members,

This month marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the New Jersey Business & Industry Association.  As an organization, we are proud to have served the State’s employers for 100 years, through good times and bad.

Of course, business conditions today are some of the most challenging in the State’s history, and I know that many of you continue to struggle.

As President of this Association, I have the greatest respect for the hard work you do to keep your businesses running, provide good-paying jobs, and serve your communities, particularly in this difficult economy.

New Jersey employers like you are the most resilient in the country, succeeding in the worst of times amidst fierce competition.

On the occasion of our 100th anniversary, I want you to know this—NJBIA is here to serve you.

We want you to succeed in New Jersey, not an easy task even in the best of times, given the high cost of doing business here.  We are here to help you lower your costs. We are here to provide timely and relevant information about business trends and resources and about laws and regulations affecting your business.  We are also here to provide you with opportunities to network and grow your business.  A very important benefit of membership is your ability to apply for coverage with top-rated NJM Insurance Co.

NJBIA is proud of its hard-won reputation as New Jersey’s most effective and powerful voice for business in the Legislature.  In the years ahead, we will continue to be a strong advocate for a better State business climate, one in which your business feels valued and can thrive instead of having obstacles put in its way.

If you have a question or problem, or an idea for how we can better serve you, please do not hesitate to call us at 609-393-7707.  I wish you a happy and prosperous 2010.

Sincerely,

Philip Kirschner
President
New Jersey Business & Industry Association
