HR Consulting Firm, A.J. O'Connor Associates Joins BioNJ – The Vibrant 400 Member Strong Life Sciences Industry Association - and Attends its Annual Dinner
Parsippany, NJ (PRWEB) April 01, 2015 -- Earlier this year, A.J. O’Connor Associates (AJO) joined BioNJ, a vibrant life sciences industry association that represents research-based life science organizations in New Jersey, with over 400 members.
Jonathan Parker, AJO’s Vice President of Business Development & Executive Coach, attended BioNJ’s Annual Gala Dinner in February, an event that attracted over 750 attendees.
In one of the evening’s highlights, Don Wright, a 73 year old cancer survivor shared his moving story of how, almost twelve years ago, he was given five years to live. Since then, Don has run 85 marathons. He entered a clinical trial that gave him access to medication in pill form, allowing him to run during treatment. As Jonathan noted, “There are some really ground breaking therapies being developed here in NJ. BioNJ’s Annual Gala Dinner event was a moving tribute to this work, as well as a celebration of some exciting innovation.”
AJO is actively partnering with some of the largest biotechnology and pharmaceutical organizations in New Jersey, supporting the development of their leaders and teams; a role AJO is privileged and proud to have played for more than a decade.
AJO President, Andy O’Connor explained, “BioNJ was recommended to us by an existing member who was aware of AJO’s strong pharmaceutical and biotechnology client base throughout the Northeastern United States. We’re excited to be a member of this industry group and look forward to participating in the association’s events.”
