Your Success is Our Business!

2018 Best of Salem County Contest Winners! - CLICK HERE

In 1943, a group of business owners got together to develop the first organization dedicated specifically to serving business in Salem City. Today, the Salem County Chamber of Commerce boasts roughly 380 members comprised of large corporations, manufacturers, small businesses and community leaders county-wide. We have a supportive, active Board of Directors, professional staff, and over 340 active members. Although much has changed in the past several decades, our mission has remained the same. We are still a group of business people dedicated to making Salem County a better place to live, work and do business.

Community Health Survey

Inspira Health Network taking an in-depth look at the health needs in communities within their service areas of Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem Counties.

The results from this survey will be made available to interested community partners, and Inspira Health Network will use the results from the community health needs assessment to develop a community health implementation plan focused on meeting the identified community needs. Please participate by filling out the survey below!

The survey should only take about 15 minutes to complete. Please feel free to share this link with any of your friends, family or colleagues who live in Cumberland, Gloucester, or Salem counties: https://rutgers.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9WR4tlJkCgG8jXL

Meet the NJ Business Action Center Executive Director

Meet Melanie Willoughby

Good Morning,

On behalf of the New Jersey Business Action Center (BAC), I am pleased to inform you that we are from state government and are absolutely here to help you and your business community! I know this for a fact because I have had the distinct honor and privilege to join the Murphy Administration as the Executive Director of the BAC.

I bring a new perspective to this position. As Chief Government Affairs Officer at the New Jersey Business & Industry Association (NJBIA), I managed the Government Relations Department of the largest state-wide business association in the country. Thru my tenure at NJBIA, I worked to provide state legislative and regulatory advocacy and compliance information to improve a business’ bottom line.

The team at the BAC is pro-business and proactive. We serve as the advocates for all businesses, navigating the government services and programs on their behalf to provide optimum conditions for business growth and job creation. We are the “one-stop,” no-cost resource for everything companies need to do business in New Jersey. We help all businesses, both large and small. From Fortune 500 companies to Main Street businesses, we are just one call away. Call us at 800-Jersey-7, or check out our website for more details: http://www.nj.gov/njbusiness/home/bac/.

If you have any business concerns, questions or would like to establish a direct connection with the BAC where there hasn’t been one already, please feel free to reach out to me at 609-633-8301 or Melanie.willoughby@sos.nj.gov. We are committed to the success of every business and committed to help them navigate the State of New Jersey’s services and programs. Together we can make a difference.

Thank you,

Best regards,

Melanie Willoughby, Executive Director
New Jersey Business Action Center
