Let’s Play Ball!

I t’s finally here, our largest event of the year, the 2019 CAI-NJ Annual Conference & Expo! I am so excited about the Expo this year. First of all, I love the logo and theme. I really think it covers what the Expo is all about, whether it be getting the right vendors for your community’s needs or the nec- essary education so boards can effectively run their associations. Secondly, it is the first time we had the booths sold out by May. That’s never happened before. Thanks to the success of last year’s Conference & Expo and the

hard work of Angela and the C&E Committee we did not have to make a single phone call. In addition, this year we have hired a PR firm to really help us get the word out to as many community board members as possible. They have different social media platforms that they will be using, and I am sure that they will be able to increase the attendance this year.

Speaking of education, the topics this year are excellent and timely, please make sure you attend all of them. The first one covers keeping open lines of communication and dealing with burnout in the workplace. Although very dif- ferent, both are extremely important in this is world of social media and instant responses that we live in. The second session at 10:45am covers maintenance, what the association is and is not responsible for, and what could happen if you do not build a winning team. The speakers are excellent and bring with them a wealth of knowledge and expertise, each one of them having been in the industry for many, many years. And then of course we have the LAC update in the afternoon. Boy, do they have a lot to talk about! The committee sure has been busy and there are lots of changes that Boards need to be aware of. This session is definitely one worth attending. Last, but not least, are all the prizes. Between the cash CAI is giving away and the drawings at each booth, there is at least $10,000 to be won. How can anyone say no to that? Can’t wait to see you all at The Event Center @IPA on October 17th! n
