200 South Jersey Business Leaders Turn Out For New Jobs Reception For Area Legislators 

06/23/09

Event Supports ‘Government Officials Who Keep Business’ Best Interests Top Of Mind’
  More than 200 business leaders from across the region joined the South Jersey Chamber and NJBIA for the 23rd annual NEW JOBS South Jersey Legislative Reception last month at the Mansion.
  NEW JOBS, which is the state’s business political action committee, is celebrating its 50th Anniversary. (The acronym stands for New Jersey Organization for a Better State.)
  A bipartisan organization, NEW JOBS supports pro-business candidates for the state legislature who are committed to lowering the cost of doing business, strengthening the business climate and creating new jobs.
  “As business leaders, we have to work hard to control our own destiny. To do so, it’s paramount that we partner with our legislators and effect the right changes that will support and improve our state’s business climate. If we fail, we have no one to blame but ourselves. If we succeed, all of New Jersey will benefit,” explained event chair Tom Geisel, the president and CEO of Sun National Bank.
  “The support and attendance (at this event) is a testament to the commitment we all have to our state’s success. Through this event, both businesses and elected officials demonstrate our resolve to a future strengthened by businesses that want to grow here and government officials who keep business’ best interests top of mind,” Geisel said.

      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.
