There's a lot you can do here, to connect with others interesting in building a Sustainable Business Network in New Jersey. You can share your ideas, and your views on organizations such as BALLE, the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies. Right now we are not affiliated with them, but they are a "network of networks," with over 60 local networks and 15,000 members.
