2023 Conquer + Connect

Greetings

ANGELA KAVANAUGH | CHAPTER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Welcome to our second annual Conquer + Connect retreat, presented to you by our award-winning Women’s Leadership Committee. I am excited to share that the 2022 Conquer + Connect retreat was selected by CAI National to receive the Achievement Award in the Membership Engagement category. The award will be presented to the chapter at the National Conference on Friday, May 19th in Dallas, Texas. Last year’s Conquer + Connect retreat was so well received that it was necessary to move this year’s event, allowing us to welcome a larger group of attendees. Along with the CAI-NJ Team, the Women’s Leadership Committee has once again put together a full day of specially created programs. Today will begin with our first Keynote Speaker, Sharon Newport, CAE presenting, DEI is Everywhere! You will then have the opportunity to choose between two educational tracks for both of today’s morning and afternoon sessions. This morning please choose between, Learn to Lead, presented by: Elaine Warga-Murray, MA, CMCA, AMS, PCAM, E.W. Murray Consulting, LLC and Excelling in Customer Service and Conflict Resolution , presented by; Caryn Brahn, SERVPRO of Eatontown/Long Branch. We are excited to present our afternoon Keynote Speaker, Dr. Colleen Georges, presenting, Are YOU on YOUR List? Achieve Your “Want to Dos” Amidst Your “Have to Dos”. The afternoon educational track will allow you to choose between, Digital Skills: Using Social Media to Grow Your Brand , presented by: Nichole Gist, Hello Green Marketing and Personality and Professional Growth: Understand How Your Personality Impacts Your Success , presented by: Lisa Leath, Vantaca, LLC. Our final program of the day will be Conquer Through Connections: Becoming an Industry Influencer , presented by: Loren Lightman, Esq., Hill Wallack, LLP, Jennifer Nevins, CMCA, EBP, PS&S, LLC, Nicole Skaro, CMCA, EBP, CIT, a Division of First Citizens Bank, and Lisa Vitiello, CPA, Towne & Country Management, Inc. Please be sure to visit each of our tabletop sponsors today and have them stamp your door prize entry card. New this year, everyone will also have the opportunity to be entered into a drawing to win a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes, sponsored by CIT, a Division of First Citizens Bank. Stop by their booth for your entry ticket. A special thank you to all our sponsors who made this event possible, especially our Leading Sponsor, Taylor Management Company, AAMC, AMO for once again supporting this event. Please check out the listed sponsors in this program and be sure to chat with them while you are here. Without their support, today’s event would not have been possible. You can find our sponsors listed on page 2 of this program. Additionally, included in this program is the listing of today’s attendees and their contact information. Please use this list to connect with your colleagues, foster new relationships and build your network. I hope that the relationships that you build today will lead to new opportunities for you, both professionally and if you are lucky, personally as well. Thank you again for joining us and finding value in our events. Our members are our greatest asset, and we could not achieve success as a chapter without your support. I hope you thoroughly enjoy the event, and I can’t wait to hear your feedback in the coming days!
