The 80’s themed night kicked off with great food, drink and networking. Encouraged to wear attire from that era, attendees fashioned 80’s classics from leg warmers and high hair to Miami Vice blazers and mustaches.

The FAME awards honor both companies and individual members of SBACNJ for their excellence in marketing accomplishments.
