NJPAC invites you to join us for an online version of our popular Business Partners Roundtable discussions.

Join us for a conversation with two of New Jersey’s leading executives — Anton Vincent, President, Mars Wrigley North America, and Denise Woodard, Founder and CEO of Partake Foods, a Jersey City start-up that makes allergen-free baked goods, backed by investors including Jay-Z — to learn how they are guiding their businesses and evolving their thinking in an extraordinary era shaped by the pandemic, the most significant economic setback since the Great Depression, and a nationwide reckoning with racism.

They’ll share their insights into this unprecedented time with us at the next NJPAC Business Partners Roundtable @ Home.
