To:         NJ SEED Board and Members

From:     Jim Benton, President

Subject: Guest Speaker - March 10, 2010 Meeting

Date:     March 8, 2010

In response to an invitation from NJ SEED, former State Senator Rich Bagger, who is Governor Chris Christie's Chief of Staff, will be the guest speaker at this Wednesday's NJ SEED meeting which will be held at the Trenton Country Club on Sullivan Way in West Trenton.

Chief of Staff Bagger will offer comments on the Governor's plans to balance the state budget and restore New Jersey's economy. He has indicated his willingness to take questions and discuss ways in which our business/labor coalition can work with the new administration toward addressing NJ's problems.

Due to scheduling commitments he will not be able to join us until about 1:00 PM. We know you will want to hear what Senator Bagger has to say and to ask question of him, so please plan to stay for the entire NJ SEED agenda, lunch and program.



Thank you
