NJBankers Spring Season Wraps Up with 3 Fantastic Events!
This June, NJBankers finished out its spring season strong with three successful events.
On June 4, 300 members attended our annual Banking on Women Conference and heard from impactful and inspiring women leaders, including Moira Forbes, Jasmine Brett Stringer, Kristen Brown and Debbie Peterson. Attendees left feeling empowered to move forward with their careers and "seize the day," with advice on ways to turn vision into reality.

Next, on June 12, we held our annual Marketing Conference with nearly 50 bank and business marketers from across the state gaining insights into the ways AI is transforming marketing, ways to go beyond digital to appeal to consumers, strategies to help your bank's social media campaigns stand out, and how marketers can play a role in combating elder financial abuse.
Our final event for the spring was the annual Bankers Cup Golf Outing this past Monday. We were joined by nearly 130 bankers and Associate Members for a fun day of golf and networking out on the green.
