MORRIS COUNTY — Spring brings more than April flowers and May Day, as the Morris County Chamber of Commerce is welcoming in the warmer weather with several signature events open to both members and the general public.
The chamber will host the 29th Annual Partners in Economic Development Awards Tuesday, April 19, at the Hyatt Regency Morristown. The theme of the event is ESG IMPACT: environmental, social, and governance. ESG criteria are an increasingly popular way for investors to evaluate companies and addressing ESG requires tremendous coordination to align on issues from climate change to human rights to transparent accounting. The chamber has invited corporate leaders who are succeeding in this space to share their best ideas when it comes to the environment, sustainability and governance. The keynote speaker will be Angela Ortiz, director of ESG & Sustainability at Public Service Enterprise Group, who leads the development and implementation of the sustainability, ESG, and climate strategies at a corporate level. The luncheon also will feature a panel discussion and the 2022 awards for the largest real estate transactions of 2020 and 2021. For more information or to register click here.
The chamber will host 16th Annual Not for Profit Conference on Thursday, April 28, at the Hilton Parsippany. The event, this year titled “Reconnecting and Rebuilding: Lessons Learned,” will feature keynote speaker Jonathan R. Pearson, director of corporate social responsibility and executive director of The Horizon Foundation for New Jersey. There also will be a panel discussion with local nonprofit leaders and a 2022 Not For Profit Excellence Awards presentation. For more information or to register click here.
Then the chamber’s Annual Golf Classic will be held on Monday, June 6, at Spring Brook Country Club in Morristown, from 10:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. The day of networking and golf includes lunch, golf, a cocktail reception, a dinner buffet, the Business and Community Service Award ceremony, and a silent auction.
