CAI-NJ TEAM

T he holidays have come and gone, and we are heading into a new year! I am excited to work alongside our CAI-NJ staff, board of directors, committee volunteers and members as we navigate together into 2022! Our goal is to always keep the safety of all our members our top priority, but still be able to deliver to you education and networking events that are captivating to all.

As I mentioned in my annual retreat speech for those who could not attend, my 15 years in this industry would not have been as meaningful and fulfilling if I didn’t come across such amazing people in our chapter who helped carve my career path. Over the next 12 months I am going to be highlighting one person in our chapter each month who had a huge impact on my life both professionally and personally. January’s Impactful Leader Ed San George, PCAM Ed is the President of Integra Management Corporation, AAMC, and is also the current Vice Chair for the Legislative Action Committee. He is a long standing and active member of CAI and is a six-year board member and Past President of the NJ chapter. Ed was also awarded the Jerome Fein Distinguished Service Award. The recipient of this award is honored for many years of service to both CAI-NJ and CAI National, in a number of different capacities. Ed is someone who I have grown to know over the last several years through business and the chapter. His knowledge within the industry speaks for itself and I encourage all of you to attend the next seminar he speaks at. What really hit home with me and something I will never forget was at the 2021 Conference and Expo. Ed came up to me, congratulated me on becoming President in 2022, and extended his hand and knowledge. Being a past presi- CONT I NU E S ON PAGE 65
