Assemblymen Joseph Cryan (D- 20), and Jon Bramnick (R-21), will be special guests.
“This series is a wonderful opportunity to forge new connections with the business community and government agencies that can be beneficial to any business, large or small,” said Freeholder Chairman Alexander Mirabella.
The Union County Mean Business series, an initiative of Chairman Mirabella, is designed to bring local business owners, prospective owners and managers in contact with government representatives who can help them obtain information about grants, loans, social media, employee recruitment, and other resources.
