NJBIZ is proud to introduce the inaugural recipients of the Veterans in Business awards. 
https://njbiz.com/introducing-the-inaugural-njbiz-veterans-in-business-honorees/ 

Created by NJBIZ Associate Publisher and General Manager AnnMarie Karczmit in honor of her late father, who served in the Korean war, this new program recognizes veterans who are making a significant impact on New Jersey business as well as continuing to give back to their community. 

This year’s 41 honorees served across the United States’ military branches, including the Air Force, Air National Guard, Army, Marines, Navy and Coast Guard. 
The judges for this year’s awards – who are all military veterans themselves – were: Dominick Belfiore, vice president business banking relationship manager, M&T Bank; Eddie Condello, vice president, team leader and commercial lending officer, Columbia Bank; and Schone Malliet, CEO and president, Winter4Kids. 
Please join us for a virtual awards ceremony at 8:30 a.m. Nov. 7 to honor these individuals. Registration information will be available on the event page. 

NJBIZ will also recognize the honorees in a special section included in the Nov. 20 issue of NJBIZ. 
For sponsorship opportunities, please contact Karczmit at [email protected].
