We move people and goods all over the globe
We finance business growth and insure you
We keep the lights on
We design transportation infrastructure
We craft business solutions
We protect your legal rights
We market you

We are health care providers that save lives and not-for profits that change lives…
We only provided a hint to the depth of our membership but you get the idea… NRBP has an impressive roster of members
and you should connect with them!
Throughout the year, we provide events that bring our members together to share news, ideas, progress and challenges. This
2015 calendar and sponsorship guide outlines our schedule for the year and offers opportunities to raise your organization’s
visibility among the more than 400 members and thousands of contacts who interact with NRBP each year. Our
sponsorships not only showcase your business but demonstrate that you are committed to the success of this organization
and the region’s economic competitiveness.
Corporate executives, business owners, principals at professional firms, not for profit executives and community leaders
attend our events. But NRBP’s ability to connect is not limited to in-person handshakes. Our professional staff and
Ambassadors work “behind the scenes” to introduce our members to people and resources that will help you to be more
successful. We are just a phone call or email away, so let NRBP know how we can help.
We invite you to be an active and engaged member in 2015. With our broad range of talented and capable members, we
remain committed to Connecting Business for Greater Newark.
