It’s going to be a great time and we look forward to seeing everyone!”

AASP/NJ will also conduct its annual Board of Director elections.

“We invite the automotive community to come out for this great night of fun and recognition,” AASP/NJ President Ken Miller states. “Bring your spouse, bring your team, network with fellow members and celebrate those who help make the association thrive. It’s a great night of fun and relaxation. Don’t miss it.”
