the LEED Silver certified building located on the company’s Princeton campus, use many of the “green” programs available in the marketplace.

With numerous company- wide recycling programs, Novo Nordisk, Inc., is constantly striving to maintain a best-in-class work environment with the least amount of impact possible on the nat- ural world.

The 2011 conference delivered on its promise of Accelerating Hispanic Business Talent. Speakers gave solid advice on leadership strategies, transforming your business, and putting your best foot forward. And companies came from all over to find the very best business talent the Hispanic community has to offer.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT…
One of the hottest sessions was The Personal Journey of an Award-Winning Investigative Broadcast Journalist, with Ana Garcia of NBC4 Los Angeles.
Garcia shared career success strategies that took her from a desk assistant position for WABC-TV in New York to a weekend anchor and reporter for major market news stations in just 11 years.
