A Word from Debbie
Hart, President of BioNJ
 Happy New Year.
2010 is
already proving to be one of BioNJ’s
best
ever.
Hope
you all tuned in earlier today as BioNJ and several industry
leaders rang
the “Opening Bell” at the NASDAQ stock exchange.
(To see a replay, go to www.NASDAQ.com,
and click on the NASDAQ MarketSite tab and then
find the At MarketSite
link.) That exciting milestone
will be followed by the New York City movie premiere of Extraordinary
Measures,
which chronicles the triumph of Amicus President and CEO John
Crowley
and his family in finding a treatment for his children’s life
threatening
disease, and we will cap off the month with our 17th
Annual
Dinner Meeting, Awards Program and Networking Event.
I
hope you will begin 2010 by joining your friends and colleagues at
our
2010 Annual Meeting on January 28 at the East Brunswick Hilton in East Brunswick.
Following on the success of last year’s meeting, which drew
more
than 400 attendees, the BioNJ Annual Meeting Committee has gone
all out
to put together a meeting that provides participants with multiple
opportunities to network and learn about the latest developments
and
trends that will affect the future of the biotechnology industry.
We
are thrilled that our featured speaker is John H. Johnson, the
former
head of ImClone Systems, who is now
President
of Global Oncology Business Unit and Senior Vice President at Eli
Lilly
and Company. John brings with him
a depth of experience in biotech that few can match and we look
forward
to hearing his guidance based on his past experiences and what he
sees on
the horizon.
And
because of John’s innumerable contributions to the biotechnology
industry
in New Jersey,
we are pleased to announce that he will be honored with the third
annual
Dr. Sol J. Barer Award for Vision, Innovation and Leadership. I am
also
pleased to announce that the award’s namesake, Dr. Sol J. Barer,
Chairman
and CEO of Celgene Corporation will
present the
award to John.
And if
that wasn’t enough, we are fortunate to once again welcome The
Honorable
James C. Greenwood, President and CEO of the Biotechnology
Industry
Organization (BIO) as our Special Guest Speaker.
With health care reform still front and
center in the nation’s capitol, Jim’s remarks should provide our
guests
with the ultimate Washington
insider’s perspective.
Finally,
I am happy to announce that the 2010 Annual Meeting is “going
green.” As
part of this initiative, the Hilton Hotel will use New
Jersey-based products
like organic meats, produce and other food products.
You
can read more about the Annual Meeting in the BioNJ
Headlines and BioNJ
Calendar sections. We hope to
see you there.
