NEW JERSEY ENERGY SUMMIT

New Jersey Energy Summit December 12 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. New Brunswick Hyatt

The State Chamber is hosting on Dec. 12 at the New Brunswick Hyatt a half day program to discuss one of the most significant challenges we face as a nation: energy security.

This is a critical time for making important decisions that will influence our ability to provide a stable supply of oil, natural gas and all forms of energy to every sector of the economy.
