“Here comes the sun, and I say, it’s all right.” – The Beatles

Turning the Corner As we turn the corner deeper into the springtime, it seems that we are at last mov- ing toward happier and sunnier days ahead, starting with the chapter’s first in-person event in over a year! I am happy to announce that our Welcome Back Party will be on May 26, 2021 from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Asbury Festhalle & Biergarten in Asbury Park. This event is for our 2020 partners and exhibitors as well as the first 100 managers or homeowner leaders to register. Details can be found on the CAI- NJ Website https://cainj.org/welcome-back-party/ Along with starting our in-person events, the chapter is continuing our ongoing virtual programs. In April we launched the Wednesday Webinar series with the chapter’s 2021 Ultimate Partners. Managers can receive one hour of credit towards their PMDP designations for each webinar attended. I am pleased to report that the first program launch had close to 100 attendees! These webinars will continue through September 22, 2021 on select Wednesdays each month. Links to all of the upcoming Wednesday Webinars can be found at https://cainj.org/wednesday-webinars/. In case you miss any of the webinars, the playback for all Wednesday Webinars will be available on our Webinar Library at https://cainj.org/webinars/. Also in April, from April 12th - 19th the chapter’s exhibiting partners hosted the pro- gram entitled “HOA Board 101: Guidance in Leading Your Community Effectively”. This was a very timely educational program presented exclusively for the chapter’s homeowner leader members. Another very well-attended April program was our Virtual Speed Networking event which was held on April 22, 2021. The chapter’s business partners, managers and homeowner leaders had a unique opportunity to network virtually face-to-face on a one-on-one basis with other attendees. This was a successful event for all who attend- ed and one which we will consider holding again in the future. One week later, our F.A.S.T. Committee held its Make-A-Wish Paint & Sip Fundraiser on April 29, 2021, which was not only a very fun virtual painting event, it helped raise money for a worthy cause. Thank you to all who participated and big thank you to our sponsors! Finally, our 2020 Awards Nominations process took place between April 9th and April 25th. Please be on the lookout for information on voting for our nominees which will be open shortly.
