Melanie Willoughby, Executive Director of NJ Business Action Center, addresses MCRCC
Great food, and even better relationships, were made at the Middlesex County Regional Chamber of Commerce annual meeting, that was held Thursday June 21 at the Forsgate Country Club in Monroe.
Members were welcomed by an appetizing buffet, as they networked and mingled. Melanie Willoughby, Executive Director of the New Jersey Business Action Center, delivered the keynote. She spoke about her work to create and retain jobs while encouraging private capital investments in the Garden State.
