Dear Bio-1 Community,

Welcome to the December edition of the Bio-1 Buzz, our e-newsletter to keep you connected to the Central New Jersey WIRED (Workforce Innovation in Regional Economic Development) Bio-1 region.  With the holiday season upon us, we want to take this opportunity to thank you for all of your interest in and support for Bio-1 and partners programs throughout the year, and we look forward to continuing to build upon this wonderful foundation.  We have a portfolio of close to 20 funded projects and ideas and plans for 2009. Our Governance Board member spotlight this month is Debbie Hart, President of BioNJ, and key member of Bio-1’s leadership.    

Visit our website www.bio-one.org and don’t forget to pass along the buzz.

Sincerely,
