  Chris S. Kindbom, Regional Manager of Ryan Homes, was honored as Builder of the Year at the Major Achievements in Marketing Excellence Awards, hosted by the Sales and Marketing Committee of the Builders League of South Jersey at The Merion Caterers on Route 130 in Cinnaminson, last night.
  Kindbom, who served as President of the Builders League in 2006, has been a steadfast supporter of strengthening the housing industry in South Jersey by working to ensure that the builder and associate members work together. He was recently honored by the National Association of Homebuilders for encouraging 152 companies to become members in their local, state and national homebuilding associations.
  A resident of Medford, Kindbom began his career with Ryan Homes 25 years ago in McClain, Virginia as a project manager and aided the company’s growth in the region as he took over responsibilities ranging from sales representative, construction manager, land acquisition and sales manager, division manager and market manager.
  Ryan Homes is a division of NVR Incorporated of Reston Virginia, which has new neighborhoods in 12 states along the East Coast and Ohio.  One of the nation’s top 10 homebuilders, Ryan Homes has built more than 300,000 new homes for families. The company is currently building 24 new neighborhoods in Central and South Jersey.
  Established in 1985, the MAME Awards Program recognizes League members for superior work in design, building, merchandising and the most creative advertising and marketing efforts used to promote South Jersey’s newest neighborhoods.
 

  •    The mission of the Next Generation Aviation Research Park (ARTP) is to promote sustained economic growth and job creation throughout New Jersey and the nation by implementing and operating a cooperative, state-of-the-art aviation Research Park that will support the evolution of the Next Generation aviation environment.
       At full build out, the Park will include seven multi-story buildings with a total of over 400,000 square feet of laboratory and research space located on the campus of the FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center which is the nation’s leading air transportation Federal Facility.

  •   January is not a big month for “don’t miss” events, But it is home to one of, if not “the,” premier events of the year—the State Chamber’s annual “Walk to Washington.”
      The tradition began in 1937 when several of the state's top business executives took a train to Washington to have dinner with New Jersey's congressional delegation. The rest is history. The Walk to Washington obtained its name when participants realized that few sit on the train; they literally walk the train mingling and exchanging business cards the whole way to Washington.
