You are invited to join the John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at the 20th anniversary celebration dinner on April 7, 2016 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Heldrich Hotel in downtown New Brunswick, New Jersey.

A highlight of the celebration will be the announcement of the inaugural John J. Heldrich Distinguished Leadership Awards, named in honor of the center’s founder, who was a visionary business and civic leader in our state. The awards will be presented to:
