NFIB hosted Small Business Day on Tuesday May 5 at the historic state
capital building in Trenton. Members from across the state gathered to
show the strength of small business owners in New Jersey.
The event kicked off with keynote speaker, Lt.
Governor Kim Guadagno, who is known for being a champion for small business. “Every
day you in this room and millions like you work to grow your businesses and
create 21st century jobs,” said Acting Governor Guadagno. “And
I can promise you that, every day that I am in office, I will work to make your
life easier, to make New Jersey a more welcoming home for residents and
businesses of all sizes, and to get government out of your way.”
NFIB Media Manager, Toni Angelini moderated a lively media panel with Bill Spadea of My9NJ.com, and Jack Mozloom,
NFIB Media Communications Director. Attendees also heard from Jonathan Williams,
director of the Tax and Fiscal Policy Task Force for the American
Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), where he works with state legislators
and the private sector to develop free-market fiscal policy in the states.
Thank you to Lt. Governor Guadagno,
Bill Spadea, Jonathan Williams and Jack Mozloom for speaking and to
everyone who attended! We’re looking forward to making next year’s event
bigger and better!
