The Economic Development Corporation for Gloucester Township – along with township Mayor David Mayer and council – sponsored the 21st annual business breakfast on May 9 at Valleybrook Country Club in Blackwood.
The event drew individuals to celebrate the township’s business community and the achievements of local vet-owned businesses, as well as networking opportunities and discussions.
The keynote address was delivered by Amy Osborn and the breakfast also featured a veterans affairs panel that offered valuable insights for vets interested in business ownership.
Among others guests was township Police Chief David Harkins, who was accompanied by staff and members of his department’s Community Relations Bureau. They underscored the importance of collaboration between law enforcement and the township business community to drive economic growth and community development.
Attendees had the opportunity to connect with fellow business leaders, exchange ideas and celebrate the township’s entrepreneurial spirit. Reflecting on the event, Mayer expressed his gratitude to all participants for their contributions to the business landscape and emphasized the importance of fostering an environment where entrepreneurship can flourish.
