Great to spend time with my HNTB Colleagues Martha Bogle and Andrew Tunnard at the beautiful and truly world class MetLife Stadium. The eyes of the World are upon this place as New Jersey and New York prepare to host the finals and several games of the FIFA World Cup 2026™ - Canada, Mexico and the United States with FIFA World Cup 26 New York New Jersey™. Thanks to Thomas A. Bracken, Kevin Friedlander, Patrick Daily and the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce for organizing a great event with outstanding panelists. #beinghntb #fifaworldcup26 #nynjstrong #worldiswatching #welcome #letsdothis James Kirkos

New Jersey Chamber Statement on New Jersey’s Ranking on CNBC’s 2024 Top States for Business List: Last year there was great pride when New Jersey climbed 23 places, earning the distinction as the most improved state for doing business on CNBC’s Top States for Business list. That’s why it is disappointing that New Jersey is moving in the wrong direction, falling from No. 19 to No. 25 in 2024. We placed second to last in business friendliness, we have one of the highest costs of doing business – and we fell in the infrastructure, cost of living, and technology and innovation categories. We realize that there are initiatives in place to improve infrastructure and technology but we need to continue to provide enhanced focus on those two areas.  Also of great concern is neighboring New York and Pennsylvania are ahead of us; states that are actively luring companies and jobs away from us. This year’s ranking does not take into account the negative impact of the recent budget, including the Corporate Transit Fee, which gives New Jersey the highest CBT rate for large companies and will certainly impact our future business attraction and retention efforts. All of this reinforces our longstanding plea for the Administration and the legislature to provide more support and attention for the business community.

We Asked N.J. Chamber Members: How Do You Protect Your Company and Your Customers From Cybercrime: "Get rid of data from 20 years ago. If you need to keep data statutorily, keep it offline. When you are traveling, don’t synch your phone with a rental car. You are feeding data into a vehicle that you don’t own or control. These are things you have to think about. Also, don’t say the 'B' word. Say 'incident' until proven otherwise. Don’t say 'breach.' At our office, everybody has a handy 4x6 incident response card. If somebody clicks on something, or somebody sees something that is funky or somebody’s computer shuts down on them, they know who to call." - Michelle Schaap, chair, tech, privacy & data innovations, CSG Law. https://lnkd.in/eACcDQ8Q
