A Word from Debbie Hart, President of BioNJ
Look for New Jersey at BIO International Convention
Debbie HartCome visit your New Jersey colleagues at Booth 505 at the Biotechnology Industry Organization's (BIO) 2012 International Convention, which will take place in Boston on June 18-21.

New Jersey will once again be featured with a Pavilion, which BioNJ is presenting in conjunction with ChooseNJ. Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno will be on hand to help us tell the New Jersey story.

We are also pleased to note that BioNJ will be presenting the New Jersey story on Tuesday, June 19, from 3:00 to 6:30 p.m. on the second day of a BIO Cluster Hour. This unique new program offered by the Council of European BioRegions will provide a forum open to all attendees at the European Commission pavilion on the convention floor.

We hope to see you there.
