The Annual Meeting, held every December, brings together the key players and innovators from the Somerset County business landscape for a luncheon of recognition, networking, and insight.

"It's an honor to receive this recognition because it's truly a reflection of the talented people in our organization. As a member of Somerset County for more than 30 years, we highly value the role we play in creating a sustainable future for our economy, our environment, and for society. We remain committed to helping detect disease early and treat it effectively so that we can help those in our own local community, and in communities around the world, live longer, healthier lives" Nick Solimo, Vice President Global Operations and Site Head, Roche.
The luncheon will feature networking, a formal awards presentation, recognizing the exceptional achievements of businesses and individuals who have made significant impacts in the region. Attendees will enjoy a plated lunch with a cash bar. In addition to the awards, the event will include a detailed overview of the Business Partnership’s objectives for the upcoming year, providing attendees with valuable insights into the future direction and initiatives of the organization.
"It is with great honor and gratitude that I accept the Business of the Year Award from SCBP. Since joining in 20 years ago, when I was cleaning houses alongside two other ladies, we have faced numerous challenges—floods, the pandemic, and economic fluctuations. Throughout it all, SCBP has been our steadfast supporter, helping us grow from a small team into an established business. This recognition is a testament to the resilience and dedication of our team, and I am deeply grateful for SCBP's unwavering support over the years." Shirley Perlinsky, CEO/Manager, S&G Cleaning.
The Palace, known for its elegant atmosphere and exceptional service, will provide the perfect backdrop for this landmark event. Attendees can look forward to an engaging program, excellent networking opportunities, and a celebration of the community’s collective success.
“I am honored to receive this award and grateful for the opportunities I have had over the years to collaborate with others to make Somerset County a better place” Mike Kerwin, Former CEO/President, SCBP.
