Hello all,

I hope you are all doing well!

It has been a long time that also feels like a very short time. I suspect you all understand.  The past few months have been filled with changes and new projects, but I have been looking forward to meeting with you all again and reenergizing NJLibsGrowBiz.

I am hoping to schedule a virtual meeting later in October—please fill out this Doodle poll to help select a date: https://doodle.com/poll/ueyetbnbw9z3y5w2?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link The purpose of the meeting will be to provide updates from you as well as the NJ State Library and make plans for the rest of the year—including the NJLibsGrowBiz Summit in 2022. An agenda will be forthcoming.

Once we have landed on a date and time, this meeting will be advertised widely, which I hope will bring new members to the group and widen our conversations around economic, business, and workforce development at this critical time.

I have enjoyed working with all of you and I look forward to what we can accomplish next.

Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions.

Best,

Andrea
