NJ Environmental Federation’s 25th Anniversary Conference Saturday, May 14, 2011 (8 am – 5 pm) Rutgers University School of Law 123 Washington Street, Newark, NJ

March 8, 2011

The New Jersey Environmental Federation (NJEF) is holding our 25th annual conference on Saturday, May 14, 2011 at Rutgers University School of Law, Newark, NJ. You are invited to be an integral part of our quarter of a century celebration and be recognized for your commitment to the environment and our community.

With 150,000 individual members and 100 member groups, we are one of New Jersey’s largest environmental organizations working on clean water, healthy towns/schools, environmental justice, and making democracy work. We have been successful at working with individuals, communities, companies and local and state officials to “green” New Jersey and develop a more sustainable environment and stable economy.

This year’s conference theme, Smart Green & Clean: Practical Environmental Solutions in the 21st Century, will highlight the work that environmental groups and communities are doing to implement smart, clean and green policies to help reduce toxic burdens, keep our drinking water and air clean, promote green jobs and support innovative energy and water technologies and efficiencies. The program is packed with interactive workshops, networking opportunities, and accessorized by dozens of exhibitors, resources vendors, and experts. Last year the event attracted almost 200 attendees.

In addition, our conference provides attendees the opportunity to hear from and hold their own political representatives accountable. This year, we have invited Governor Chris Christie and EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson to give keynote speeches followed by a unique question and answer session. The day’s activities also include a celebratory reception with political and environmental leaders as well as recognition of NJEF’s 2011 grassroots environmental award recipients.

Become a conference sponsor and be recognized by attendees, as well as benefit from exposure to our members through emails, website and in all conference materials. Your support of our 25th anniversary conference will help us continue our work to build a healthier, smarter, cleaner and greener New Jersey. Sponsorship funds will be used to offset costs for printing, mailings, food and special conference presentations. Because we are a non-profit, we encourage you to please consider becoming a sponsor at the $2-5,000 level. The attached information provides you with additional details about conference sponsorship options.

Thank you for supporting New Jersey’s environment and helping us to celebrate our 25th anniversary event!
