LOOKING AHEAD ANGELA KAVANAUGH | CAI-NJ CHAPTER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

C ongratulations New Jersey members! I am excited to share that the New Jersey chapter has been selected to receive an Achievement Award from CAI National for its Make-A-Wish New Jersey Partnership with CAI-NJ submission in the Public Affairs cat egory. The basis of the submission was the philanthropic work of the F.A.S.T Committee (Future All Star Team). Since its inception in 2015, the F.A.S.T Committee, along with so many of our members, have participated in the F.A.S.T. events and worked to bring awareness and raise over $100,000 for the Make-A-Wish New Jersey. Thank you to our loyal members who participated in the campaign, without which this would not have been possible to obtain!
