PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF ALL ATTENDEE'S COMFORT LEVELS IN RETURNING TO IN-PERSON NETWORKING.
The Chamber's Board of Directors has considered at-length the safety and well-being of our members and supporters in returning to in-person networking. Given current CDC guidelines, consistently rising levels of state vaccinations, other networking groups returning to in-person events, and having polled our membership (more than 85% of whom were comfortable with returning), we are confident in our decision to move forward with in-person events. Questions can be directed to info@njpridechamber.org.
**We will continue to monitor the current Omicron variant and keep registrants apprised if any changes to the venue or date are required.**
