Hudson County Jewish Business Alliance Luncheon 2016

The Hudson County Jewish Business Alliance held its second annual legislative luncheon in an effort to strengthen the ties between member businesses and state legislators.

The event was held Aug. 4 at the Empire Meadowlands Hotel at 2 Harmon Plaza in Secaucus. The annual luncheon provides the alliance's members with opportunities to forge relationships with business executives and state officials and legislative leaders.

Assemblyman Raj Mukherji, D-Jersey City, was honored with the Excellence in Leadership Award, while Jersey City Medical Center/United Rescue received the Lifesavers Award.

David Rosenberg, the director of the alliance, opened up the event by summing up the sentiment of the Alliance: "The HCJBA is here for you, to help your business."

The HCJBA was founded by Rosenberg in 2015 as a community tool with the aim of enhancing Jewish business owners and providing venues for networking.
