Starting Something New! B y now, you’ve heard the exciting news that Angela Kavanaugh has been named Chapter Executive Director. Angela has been involved with the chapter for the past 11 years, working with the committees and serving our members. She has gar- nered the respect and loyalty of our incredible CAI-NJ Team, Jaclyn Oskierko, Brooke Stoppiello-Nevins, Jennifer Farrell and Erika Abahazy. We are excited to also have Raymond Dickey acting as a consultant to the chapter, focusing on the development and expansion of chapter programs. His experience and knowledge of the needs of our members will enhance the value our chapter has to offer. What’s Happening Now at CAI? CAI-NJ has been diligently preparing a series of virtual programs to offer our membership, focused on education, advocacy and networking. Quality education is critical to our members – so we are developing new programs that will qualify for continuing education credits for our manager members. In addition, a Board Leadership Development Workshop is being scheduled and there is a Webinar Library full of topics from our educational series. Legislative Updates, our Lecture Series, Virtually Connected and Skill Building Workshops are just a few of our current offerings. CAI-NJ is also proud to host virtual networking events, including our Cyber Trivia series, She-Connects and Community Leader Connection. Information on all that CAI-NJ has to offer can be found on the CAI-NJ website. CAI Matters More Than Ever! There is no time like the present to recognize the value of our Legislative Action Committee. Their advocacy is critical to the health of our industry. They work tirelessly to protect common interest communities and the people that live and work in them. We are even more aware of their efforts during times of emergency, but rest assured, they are advocating for us constantly. Let us also remember the incredibly important work of the PAC – the Political Action Committee. They provide financial support for the LAC to help advance the chapter’s interests on a state-wide basis. For more information on their important work – please read George Greatrex’s Legislative Update in this issue. In Closing — We Thank You! There are many new and exciting programs on the horizon for our members and it is the hope of the CAI-NJ Board of Directors and the entire office team that our members continue to recognize the value that CAI-NJ brings to them. The success of our chapter is the result of your support. Please stay safe and remember that CAI-NJ is part of your family, and my “door” is always open. n
