“With all these lovely tokens of September days are here, with summers best of weather and the autumns best of cheer.” — Helen Hunt Jackson

End of Summer and Chapter Events It is hard to believe that the summer has ended and fall is upon us. The chapter certainly took advantage of the warm summer months with several more in-per- son events. A good time was had by all at our Ultimate Night Out at the Jersey Shore BlueClaws Game in Lakewood on August 5th. It was wonderful to see our Ultimate Partner baseball fans along with community managers and homeowner leaders enjoying our open-air deck from which they could partake in a ballpark friendly buffet (capped off by a make-your-own sundae bar) while keeping close watch on the game from our very own stadium seats.

Another in-person event was the Board Leadership Development Workshop, which was held on August 5th and 6th. Of special significance, this marked the first edu- cational course held at the chapter office in over a year and a half. We are looking forward to hosting additional educational events in the chapter office. Our virtual programming continued as well, with Wednesday Webinars held on August 4th and August 18th. The Community Association Virtual Roundtable Discussion was held on August 12th. All three events were great successes and we hoped that all participants gained valuable insight from the information presented. NJ Legislative Action Committee This month’s issue is our annual issue dedicated to the national award-winning NJ Legislative Action Committee ( NJ-LAC ). Over the past year, the LAC has had tremen- dous success in promoting and working with members of the State Legislature which has resulted in laws favorable to the industry. Of particular note is the COVID-19 tort immunity law, which was the result of a coordinated and dedicated effort by the members of the LAC who provided input on the proposed provisions of the law and our chapter members who contacted their representatives to urge passage of the CONT I NU E S ON PAGE 50
