Listen to this article

They served their country, now they’re serving their state, industry and communities. And NJBIZ wants to honor them with the recognition they deserve.

We, of course, are talking about military veterans who now lead in boardrooms, operating rooms, job sites and elsewhere across the Garden State. 

NJBIZ is introducing the Veterans in Business Awards to honor these military veterans who are making a significant impact on New Jersey business as well as continuing to give back to their community. 

To be eligible, the nominee: 

• Must be a former member of the U.S. military; 
• Must be currently employed or self-employed living and working in New Jersey; 
• May be self-nominated or nominated by another person; 
• Cannot be a member of the judging panel or a member of any judge’s immediate family; 
• Must be an owner, partner, president, chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief operating officer, board chair or other senior-level executive or manager. 

Winners of the Veterans in Business Awards will be recognized during a virtual awards ceremony in November and will also be highlighted in a publication that will be featured in a future issue of NJBIZ.

The deadline to nominate is Aug. 20, 2023. For more information or to nominate a veteran, click here. For more information about all NJBIZ events, click here.
