CAI-NJ January 2017

INSIDE CONNECTION LAURA O'CONNOR | DIRECTOR, MEMBERSHIP & MARKETING

H appy New Year! The CAI-NJ Membership & Marketing department has been very busy pre- paring for a successful 2017. Here is a recap of some of the items we have been working on. We recently conducted our annual Membership Satisfaction Survey and I am proud to say we received excellent results again this year. • 100% of members surveyed report that the chapter pro- vides sufficient and timely communications to members on products, services, upcoming events and local indus- try issues. • 90% of members surveyed report that they recommend CAI-NJ membership to others. • 90% of our members surveyed report attending at least one CAI-NJ event in 2016 with 38% attending five or more events. These results are all up from last year and demonstrate that our members are as involved, active as ever and proud to be counted as members of our chapter. Last year we launched an updated Partnership Program with three levels of participation, Ultimate, Elite and Premier. We had an impressive response from our members with 17 Ultimate Partners, 41 Elite Partners and 23 Premier Partners. The 2017 Partnership Program has many of the same ben- efits our partners enjoyed in the past and we have made some minor adjustments in response to your feedback including adding a new benefit – electronic event attendee lists for the Awards Dinner, Spring Break Party, Beach Party and the Pre-Conference Networking Reception. The partic- ipation deadline is January 13, 2017 It is now time again to sign up for the 2017 Online Service Directory. When your company is listed on CAI‑NJ’s

Online Service Directory, members and the general public can easily find your company and take advantage of your products, services and professional expertise. This is the most affordable way to reach your target market! Listings run through December 31, 2017 and one Primary Listing has been included in the Partnership Program. If you were not already aware of these opportunities, you must not be following CAI-NJ on social media.

@cainewjersey and on LinkedIn Community Associations Institute- New Jersey Chapter. As I mentioned, 90% of our member’s report that they recommend CAI-NJ membership to others. My goal is to make that number 100%. Please keep CAI-NJ in mind when as you talk with your boards, managers and service provider colleagues. We need your help to grow our chapter. If you know someone that should be a member, please refer them to me or bring them to an event. We are currently the third largest chapter of CAI. Let’s see if we can become the second largest chapter in 2017! Thank you! n
