Mission Statement

The vision of New Jersey Business Travel Association is to promote continuing, updated knowledge of business travel through educational programs and presentations. We encourage cooperation and partnering among those engaged in corporate travel and purchasing, and the transportation, hospitality, livery, technology, health, security and commercial travel industries. NJBTA represents its members on all issues affecting the business traveler through participation in the New Jersey state government travel office and its seven state regions and other travel-related professional organizations.

Why Join:

• Networking. Success in any business begins with establishing relationships among professionals in its industry. By actively participating in monthly meetings and other exciting events, NJBTA members network and establish the professional relationships necessary for success. Promoting the healthy exchange of ideas and information, NJBTA enthusiastically welcomes the challenges of the 21st Century and vigorously represents and supports the needs and interests of those involved in the fields of business travel.
• Volunteerism and Leadership. At the core of NJBTA are volunteers who compose our officers and committees. Accomplished and respected professionals in the travel management industry, they focus on specific issues which will affect our members. Because we are a collective of interested and motivated individuals, our members have the opportunity to actively participate in the functioning of NJBTA, gain the experience to grow professionally and assume leadership positions. By providing an information network where those pursuing careers in travel management can associate closely with industry leaders on important issues, NJBTA is the ideal venue for individuals of all abilities and backgrounds to work together and effect real and lasting change in an important aspect of the local business community.
