“Spring adds new life and new joy to all that is.” – Jessica Harrelson

Recent Events This year seems to be flying by and it is hard to believe that Spring is already upon us. As we move further into 2021, the chapter is continuing to plan virtual events as well as several that are planned to be in-person. Please see this month’s update on page 6 from Chapter Executive Director Angela Kavanaugh for more information about all upcoming events. In the meantime, the chapter is continuing to present innovative and informative virtual programs incorporating both educational and networking components. Participation amongst our homeowner leaders, managers and business partners continues to be strong and I thank our members for the support you have shown as we navigate the nearly daily changing landscape of COVID-19 ’s impact on chapter activities. A significant highlight of our virtual programming was the 2021 Act Like a Lady | Think Like a Boss Retreat presented by the Women’s Leadership Committee during the week of March 8, 2021 in conjunction with International Women’s Week. The programs, which were held on Monday, Wednesday and Friday of that week, started with early morning Power Half-Hour webinars on helpful topics relevant to maximizing one’s performance as an industry member. Monday’s mid-day educational program featured a presentation by Keynote Speaker, Amy Kosnikowski Dilisio on Effective Leadership Skills to Coach Your Team. Monday evening concluded with a fun speed networking event that provided an opportunity to virtually re-connect with friends and colleagues. Wednesday’s mid-day program provided an opportunity to learn about pending legislative matters with a panel discussion by the female representatives of the New Jersey Legislative Action Committee. Wednesday’s programming concluded with a murder mystery networking event geared toward figuring out who killed Sal Fee. Friday’s mid-day educational program was a very enlightening “Boss Lady Panel” and a question-and-answer discussion with top female industry leaders. The Retreat concluded with a networking trivia challenge in which participants worked together as a team to try to become trivia champions. In addition to the Retreat, the chapter held another successful Virtual Roundtable Discussion on March 17, 2021 on topics including board elections, association dues, fire safety regulations, security systems and considerations for selecting con- tractors. All of the presenters did a wonderful job and the attendees received a tremendous amount of information on these very relevant topics. CONT I NU E S ON PAGE 54
