Addressing Our Vibrant Community
written by Ferlanda Fox Nixon, Esq., President & CEO, NRBP

I would be remiss if I did not address NRBP’s vibrant community in the wake of last week’s election results. As the newly appointed President and CEO of NRBP, I want to reassure our members and stakeholders that our commitment to bolstering Greater Newark’s economy remains steadfast, regardless of political changes.
