Check out
NJBIA’s New Website!
The New Jersey
Business & Industry
Association has
launched a brand new
website! The
site contains
resource-rich pages
that only NJBIA
members can access.
Importantly, these
pages contain
content that you —
our members — asked
for in response to
surveys we conducted
early in NJBIA’s Web
redevelopment
process.
We listened
carefully to your
suggestions, and we
have worked hard to
deliver a great new
product.
An important goal of
the new site is to
help you quickly
find the information
you need to meet the
challenge of doing
business in New
Jersey.
Much of the new
content, for
example, is designed
to help you deal
with the many state
laws and regulations
affecting your
businesses—from
complex employment
and labor laws to
new tax rules.
There’s also new
information to help
your company obtain
business loans,
grants, contracts
and
economic-development
incentives.
This information is
organized in nine
logical resource
buckets: business
development,
employee training &
education,
employment & labor
law, energy,
environmental
regulations,
healthcare,
Internet,
manufacturing, small
business and
taxation.
Keep in mind that
these pages will not
be static! We will
update and refresh
them often with new
information.
As a member, you
will be able to
access this
information 24/7 by
logging onto the new
website.
Great new content is
not the only thing
you will find on
NJBIA’s new website.
The entire site has
been modernized in
every respect. The
most important
visible change is
the requirement that
all new Web visitors
sign up and login to
access protected
pages. Most members
will be prompted to
follow a quick
three-step process
to create a
password. However,
any new visitor who
enters an e-mail
address that is not
recognized by the
system will be
required to complete
a brief new-visitor
signup form.
Members who sign up
and log in will be
able to:
• Access protected,
members-only pages
(such as the
resource buckets
mentioned above).
• Take advantage of
member discounts
when registering for
events or purchasing
publications online.
• View their
information and
history of
transactions with
NJBIA.
• Request a change
to their
information.
• Join NJBIA policy
committees and
receive free
electronic copies of
our top
publications.
• Pay their dues
online.
If you are a member
who signs up with an
unrecognized e-mail
address, it may take
our member services
department a day or
two to confirm that
you are indeed
employed by an NJBIA
member company. In
that event, we ask
your patience.
However, you may
also contact a
member services
representative at
webhelp@njbia.org or
609-393-7707, ext.
2673, during regular
business hours.
Nonmembers who sign
up and login will be
able to register for
events and purchase
publications online
at regular nonmember
prices. They will
also be able to view
their information,
request changes to
that information,
and join NJBIA
online.
Please enjoy our new
website, and if you
have a good idea to
improve it or simply
want to talk about
it, feel free to
contact me directly
at 609-393-7707,
ext. 227, or
cbiddle@njbia.org.
