“The Annual Meeting is an important opportunity for NJFC members to learn of the organizations’ priorities, major events for the upcoming year, and various committees in which they can participate. It’s also a great time for members to learn about government affairs initiatives to insure that food retailers and their supplier partners continue to have a strong and dedicated voice in the Garden State under the banner of the Food Council,” stated Linda Doherty, NJFC President.
The event will feature Keynote Speaker Jeanette Hoffman, President of Marathon Public Affairs, who will speak on The New State of Political Affairs in New Jersey.
