NEWARK REGIONAL
BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP
Dear NRBP Member:
“The only thing that is constant is change.”
That phrase, or some variation, has been attributed to an ancient Greek philosopher, a French classical author and an
American scientist. More important than its origin is its appropriateness for describing what NRBP and our members
experience every day.
For NRBP, 2013 has been a year of transformation in a number of ways. Most visible are our new logo, new and improved
website, increased engagement through social media and our blog, and Connect to Newark Tours that allowed our members
a close-up view of landmarks and activities in the City’s wards.
Our programs brought fresh events and partner organizations to the table while much of the content focused on business
issues faced by our members (health insurance changes, web site enhancements and “going green”) and unprecedented
development taking place in Newark (Panasonic’s move, Prudential’s new tower and the neighborhood metamorphosis at
Teachers Village).
Change will continue to be the watchword for NRBP next year as we offer new and different ways to connect, such as The
“Art” of Networking and Oktoberfest!
This sponsorship guide and calendar offers a glimpse of what is in store in 2014 and how your company can gain visibility
while providing meaningful support for NRBP’s mission. It’s a worthwhile planning document but just scratches the
surface of what NRBP can do for you and to improve the economic vitality of the Newark region. Please let us know what
you are interested in and how we can help you achieve your goals.
The issues, individuals and trends will vary with business conditions in the year ahead but the “constant” is NRBP’s
dedication to its loyal members and our desire to respond to your needs. One on one introductions, informative events,
interesting dialogue and strong advocacy is what we’re all about. That will not change and we thank you for your time,
energy, ideas and resources that make us a more vibrant and valuable organization.
Call…email… attend…sponsor…tweet…follow…they’re all ways that we look to communicate with you in our earnest
mission…Connecting Business for a Greater Newark.

“NRBP is an integral part of any company that would like to conduct business in the Newark
area. It should be considered as a part of a strategic marketing plan. NRBP staff work hard to
provide members with a strong referral source.”
Vivian DiStaso, Director of Advertising, New Jersey Law Journal
Real Estate, Economics and Development Series (REED):
NRBP carries out its mission to “Connect Business for a Greater
Newark” through a dual focus on building individual companies
through referrals as well as to support initiatives that expand
economic opportunities for the region. Signature programs that
NRBP repeats each year are the Real Estate Market Forecast and
Regional Economic Outlook. In selecting additional topics,
we look for subjects that have interest both for the real estate
community and a general business audience interested in ancillary
opportunities that may stem from economic development projects.
