CAI-NJ TEAM

F irst, I’d like to thank everyone for attending this year’s CAI National Conference in Dallas, Texas. It was a wonderful event attended by many of our chapter members along with friends from across the nation. There was plenty of col laboration and networking along with some socializing which brought everyone together for a few days. A special congratulations goes out to The Woman’s Leadership Committee who received the “Membership Engagement Award” for the Conquer+ Connect event. Also, to the Membership Committee, as they took home an award for

“Best Net Growth” with the chapter’s membership growing 6.7% in 2022. Mitch Frumkin, RS, PE, and Ed San George, PCAM received the “Award of Excellence in Designations” for their hard work on the Reserve Study Standards

Task Force. Ed also received an “Award of Excellence in Government and Public Affairs” for all his hard work on the New Jersey Legislative Action Committee (NJ-LAC) and Community Associations Political Action Committee (CA-PAC). The ceremony was very well attended and was complete with bull riding and shuffleboard. While yours truly did not participate in any bull riding, I certainly had a few laughs watching others take part. As I sit on the plane ride back, I reflect on the positive contributions from many of our members that make this such a wonderful organization. Since this month’s magazine focuses on exterior maintenance, I thought it’s a good time to focus on the important part of ensuring the longevity and structural integrity of a building. It seems very appropriate considering the awards received by our CAI members, along with the time of year we’re in. This work involves a range of activities, including cleaning, painting, repairing, and replacing exterior components like roofs, walls, windows, and doors. Buildings that are not properly maintained can suffer from a variety of prob lems, including leaks, cracks, and deterioration, which can lead to more serious issues like mold, mildew, and structural damage. In addition to maintaining the structural integrity of a building, maintaining its aesthetics is also important. A building that looks well-maintained and attractive can increase its curb appeal and value, and can also create a positive impres sion on visitors, tenants, and employees. Thank you again for all the members who attended Dallas and I look forward to seeing everyone next year in Vegas from May 8th - 11th! n
