LOOKING AHEAD ANGELA KAVANAUGH | CAI-NJ CHAPTER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

H ere come the holidays! Thanksgiving kicks off the season, and for many of us, it is a day of gratitude for one’s wealth of family, friends, good health, food, and everything that we are grateful for and let us not forget the big Thanksgiving Day Parade! Thank you to everyone in our CAI-NJ Family — over 3,000-chapter members, 200 committee volunteers, and 88 Partners! Our growing membership is a testament that the value found in the exceptional education, resources, and fun networking events that we offer is recognized and made possible through the hard work of our committee members and the support of our Partners. Thank you to our New Jersey Legislative Action Committee (NJ-LAC)! This amazing group of devoted volunteers monitors and works to improve legislation, educating those that make the laws and advocating for everyone living and working in common interest communities. Thank you for all that you do and for keeping our members informed about critical legislation affecting them. Thank you to the CAI-NJ Board of Directors!
