The NJBIZ Business of the Year Awards recognize the state’s most dynamic companies and leaders who share a commitment to professional excellence, business growth and their communities. 

This year, we’re honoring nearly 50 organizations and three individuals who have made significant contributions to the state’s business community. 

An independent panel of judges comprised of previous program honorees selected Executive of the Year honorees and Business of the Year finalists. Categories were broken down into: 

• Executives of the Year 
• Corporate Citizen of the Year 
• For-profit Business of the Year 
• Family-owned Business of the Year 
• Nonprofit of the Year 

The last three categories were further divided based on the number of employees. 

All honorees will be recognized during a live celebration Dec. 11 at The DoubleTree by Hilton Somerset. Tickets for the event are available on the event page.  

For sponsorship opportunities, please contact NJBIZ Associate Publisher and General Manager AnnMarie Karczmit at [email protected].
