IN RECOGNITION OF NEW JERSEY BUSINESS & INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION'S EMPLOYER
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEES AND FRANK ROBINSON
_____
HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.
of new jersey
in the house of representatives
Thursday, June 20, 2019
Mr. PALLONE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to join with the New Jersey
Business & Industry Association as they celebrate 60 years of Employer
Legislative Committees and pay tribute to Frank Robinson for his 40
years of service to New Jersey. These incredible milestones and the New
Jersey Business & Industry Association's efforts to support New Jersey
businesses are truly deserving of this body's recognition.
With a 40-year career spanning the public, private and political
sectors, Frank Robinson is a well-known and well-respected face in
Trenton. He has served in leadership roles at the New Jersey Democratic
State Committee and the New Jersey General Assembly, as well as the
2001 New Jersey Congressional Re-districting Commission. Currently
serving as a Vice President of Government Affairs for the New Jersey
Business & Industry Association (NJBIA) since 2002, Frank has been an
effective voice for New Jersey's business community. He is the
longstanding Executive Director of the State Employer Legislative
Committees (ELCs) as well as Director of the NJBIA's Grassroots
Network. He also serves as a member on the Monmouth-Ocean Development
Group Board of Directors and as a Trustee of the Jersey Shore
Partnership. Throughout his tenure with the NJBIA and beyond, Frank has
distinguished himself as an advocate for the growth and viability of
New Jersey.
Established by the NJBIA in 1959, today's eighteen ELCs provide local
representation and accessibility to businesses in each county across
the state. Hosting regular meetings, ELCs offer opportunities for
business people to meet with local, state and Federal officials, hear
directly from NJBIA's knowledgeable government affairs representatives
and network with colleagues. ELCs provide an outlet for local
businesses to discuss issues and learn about regulations and policies
affecting their industry and employees.
For over 100 years, the NJBIA has represented the common interests of
New Jersey's manufacturing and business industry. It continues to be a
leading voice in New Jersey's state capital on industry affairs and an
effective advocate on behalf of its members. Its information, programs
and services are invaluable resources to companies and its
understanding of laws and regulations help NJBIA members navigate the
changing industry landscape. NJBIA's efforts to promote and expand New
Jersey's business community are supported by its proficient and
competent staff and the successful information sharing of its ELCs.
Madam Speaker, I sincerely hope my colleagues will join me in marking
60 years of Employer Legislative Committees and honoring Frank
Robinson's 40 years of dedicated leadership to New Jersey.
