Dear Suzanne,

Here is an opportunity for you to consider or pass along to a friend or colleague. You can opt out of these emails, however keep in mind that in so doing, you are opting out of ALL APN-NJ emails. I clearly mark these "Job Op" in the subject line so you can delete if you are not interested. Our vendors are financially helping to support our mission, so if we can help them find a job candidate, that would be a win win!

Best,
Suzanne
