CAI-NJ April 2021

LOOKING AHEAD ANGELA KAVANAUGH | CAI-NJ CHAPTER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR “All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today” — Unknown

W hat comes to mind when you think of Spring? For me, I think of baseball, warmer days, planning vacations and spending time out- doors with the family. This year at the chapter office, we are busy planning a full year of events into the eight that we have remaining, springing back to how things were a little over a year ago and doing it safely. Many of our members have expressed interest in return- ing to in-person events. In response, we have evaluated all aspects of hosting them to ensure the safety of our members. As of when I wrote this, the Governor’s Executive Orders allow for 50% occupancy for both indoor and outdoor events. We are looking forward to once again hosting chapter events and doing so with the safety of our members as our top priority. This however is a personal decision, so please refer to the events page of our website for up-to- date details on our event reopening protocol or feel free to contact me at angela@cainj.org or 609.588.0030, when considering your attendance.
