If you’re looking for a role model across the New Jersey business landscape, you’re sure to find several among the NJBIZ 2022 Best 50 Women in Business honorees.
This program, which is one of our best-known events, recognizes 50 women who have made a significant impact on New Jersey business and the community at large.
After an open nomination process, a panel of independent judges selected this year’s honorees using a points system to evaluate submissions.
The community is invited to celebrate these women in person Oct. 26 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at The Palace at Somerset Park, 333 Davidson Ave. Tickets for the event can be purchased through our events page.
