CAI-NJ March 2022

LOOKING AHEAD ANGELA KAVANAUGH | CAI-NJ CHAPTER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

W hile March is sometimes a forgotten month as we race from the cold of Winter towards the sunshine of Spring, it is filled with events that so many of us look forward to, such as March Madness, Mardi Gras, St. Patrick’s Day, National Women’s Day, Daylight Savings and thankfully the first day of Spring. March 15th, recognized as the Ides of March, from William Shakespeare in his play “the Ides of March”, when he warned Julius Caesar that the 15th would be a dismal day. However, ironically “Ides”, referring to the middle day of each month and dating back pre-Shakespeare, March 15th once signified the new year and a day of celebrations. What is there to look forward to at the chapter for the month of March?  Tuesday March 8th, Lecture Series, The Three Cs of Insurance: Claims, Contractors and Confusion, featuring Eric Eggert, CIC, CIRMS, of Mackoul Risk Solutions.
