"Our manager’s committee and
membership committee have put
together short videos for their
prospective memberships groups."
This year’s Senior Summit (this article was written prior
to the event which is scheduled for Thursday, July
13th at the Renaissance at Manchester community) is
focused on how our senior communities can minimize their
physical risk and liability exposure. An excellent panel of
industry experts has been assembled and will present up
to date methods on how to best protect your community’s
assets. If you were not able to attend, I will highlight the
event in next month’s article.
Our committees are rolling along nicely. Our manager’s
committee and membership committee have put together
short videos for their prospective memberships groups. The
Manager’s video, “Manager Minute,” is a brief update on a
current manager focused topic. If you’d like to see the man-
ager’s video, it can be accessed at
managers. The Membership Committee created a video to
congratulate new members at their six-month mark. If you
are a new member be on the lookout for your video to
arrive by email. The Conference and Expo Committee is
meeting monthly and is really gearing up for a top-notch
event. Angela has sold out all the exhibitor booths. This is
the earliest we’ve ever sold out. The committee revamped
the educational sessions this year, we had so many great
topic submissions, the committee decided to shorten
the sessions and add two extra sessions. Details will be
announced as soon as they are finalized. In the meantime,
be sure to “Save the Date” for this year’s Conference and
Expo — Thursday, October 18th from 9:30am to 3:00pm.
The Business Partners Committee held its first “Meet-Up” of
the year on June 7th at the Iron Bar in Morristown. 45 to
50 attended and had a great time networking and meeting
some of our newer vendor members. The CAVL committee
is always discussing ways to improve membership for our
Board Members and residents living in our communities.
They are currently coming up with a marketing plan for
our CAVL members to attend our Conference and Expo.
All of Jackie’s event committees are on top of their events.
I know that the Awards Dinner, Spring Break, and Golf
Committees did an outstanding job with planning their
events. The recent golf outing turned out to be a great
affair and we are receiving very positive comments from
those that attended. Forsgate County Club does an awe-
some job with our outing, which is the largest outing held
there. Knowing Jackie and her committees, I’m sure the
Olympics (under the direction of the FAST Committee) and
the Beach Party will be just as successful.
Please enjoy the rest of the summer. Every year they
seem to go by faster and faster. Soon I will be talking
about snow removal and ice control in my articles. Ugg. n
