Research and Development Council of New Jersey is compiling material for our 2001-2002 Annual Report. This worthwhile endeavor not only gives you a chance to let other Council members know the advances your representative organization is making in research and development, but as is the case with all of our collateral material, the Annual Report is distributed to a mailing list that includes the State’s legislators, including the Governor and his top aides, and our State Senators who represent us in Washington. The Annual Report reinforces the vitality of the Council and its importance to the Garden State. Your participation not only helps raise awareness about the Council, but it also generates publicity for each member company, so we encourage every member to submit information. Please provide us with a description of your current R&D initiatives, or a summary of your organization’s overall efforts, in particular, anything that affects research and development. We ask that you include a picture with your submission. Materials may be submitted via e-mail or the US Postal service. The deadline for materials is April 1, 2002. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Council at 973-627-5330. Thank you for participating in our 2001-2002 Annual Report.
