FORWARD

LARRY THOMAS, PCAM

| CAI-NJ CHAPTER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

"...in addition to the 160 plus

exhibitors, we will have an

education seminar for each

membership category along

with complimentary breakfast

and lunch for all attendees."

s the 2016 Conference and Expo is rapidly

approaching, it’s time that everyone reading this

article mark their calendars and start planning their

day. The Conference and Expo Committee has been

ardently working to make this the “must attend” event of the

year. This is our biggest and most important event that is

geared toward every membership group. Even if you’re

not a board member but reside or own in an HOA or

condominium community, it’s paramount that you find out as

much as you can about how your most important investment

is being governed and your quality of life is protected.

Over 160 industry professionals will be exhibiting

and all are ready to answer any questions that you may

have. This is the largest concentration of community asso-

ciation service providers and vendors in New Jersey.

We’ve moved the expo from a Saturday to a Wednesday

and starting later in the day than in previous years. The

committee, along with the board of directors, feel that

by moving to a weekday, we will attract more managers

and community leaders. All board members along with

their management and maintenance teams should block

out the day and attend. Again, there is something here

for everyone. Managers will have access to every pro-

fessional trade specialist along with every major service

provider. Your community’s maintenance staff will have the

opportunity to speak with landscapers, pool contractors,

asphalt specialists, as well as every other trade profes-

sional that services your community. Board members will

be able to visit every major service provider to ask any

questions that they may have, as every exhibitor is more

than willing to answer any questions that your team may

have. If you’re looking for a new professional to join your

team, this is the place to meet with them, all under one

roof. Our conference issue of

Community Trends

will be

mailed out to every member in plenty of time to allow you

to map out your day and mark any exhibitor you want to

chat with.

Remember, in addition to the 160 plus exhibitors, we

will have an education seminar for each membership cat-

egory along with complimentary breakfast and lunch for

all attendees. To make your day even more attractive, we

will be giving away $1,000 cash every hour for a total of

$5,000 in cash prizes.

There will be a lot more information in the September

issue of

Community Trends

concerning the 2016 CAI-NJ

Conference and Expo. In the meantime, if you have any
