CAI-NJ May 2021

LOOKING AHEAD ANGELA KAVANAUGH | CAI-NJ CHAPTER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

You are our community. Without you, there would not be a New Jersey CAI. Thank you for your loyalty to the chapter. A HUGE THANK YOU to all of you, our dear members, our partners, community association managers, homeowner leaders, service providers and professionals, for sticking by us over the past year. Finally, we are at a time where we can walk through the door and once again see each other in person. Event Reopening Task Force was created and is com- prised of CAI-NJ Committee Chairs and Vice-Chairs, members of the CAI-NJ Board of Directors, and the CAI-NJ Team. The task force was charged with drafting guidelines that would ensure the events will be executed as safely as possible allow- ing our members to be comfortable attending. Currently, all events will be hosted outdoors, subject to change, based on the Governor’s Executive Orders for event reopening. The CAI-NJ Event Reopening Guidelines, detail the precautions that the chapter is taking and include social distancing and face mask requirements, adequate sanitizing, contactless registration, informational signage, venue capacity, food, and beverage safety as well as security compliance. The full guidelines are available on the events page of our website along with the COVID-19 Waiver, https://cainj.org/network-events/. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns as your safety and comfort level is my top priority. Vaccine Eligibility. As I am sure you are all aware, as of April 19, 2021, all New Jersey Residents over the age of 16 are eligible to receive the COVID‑19 vaccina- tion.
