appy New Year! The CAI-NJ Membership &
Marketing department has been very busy pre-
paring for a successful 2017. Here is a recap of
some of the items we have been working on.
We recently conducted our annual Membership
Satisfaction Survey and I am proud to say we received
excellent results again this year.
• 100% of members surveyed report that the chapter pro-
vides sufficient and timely communications to members
on products, services, upcoming events and local indus-
try issues.
• 90% of members surveyed report that they recommend
CAI-NJ membership to others.
• 90% of our members surveyed report attending at least
one CAI-NJ event in 2016 with 38% attending five or
more events.
These results are all up from last year and demonstrate
that our members are as involved, active as ever and proud
to be counted as members of our chapter.
Last year we launched an updated Partnership Program
with three levels of participation, Ultimate, Elite and Premier.
We had an impressive response from our members with 17
Ultimate Partners, 41 Elite Partners and 23 Premier Partners.
The 2017 Partnership Program has many of the same ben-
efits our partners enjoyed in the past and we have made
some minor adjustments in response to your feedback
including adding a new benefit – electronic event attendee
lists for the Awards Dinner, Spring Break Party, Beach Party
and the Pre-Conference Networking Reception. The partic-
ipation deadline is January 13, 2017
It is now time again to sign up for the 2017 Online
Service Directory. When your company is listed on CAI‑NJ’s
Online Service Directory, members and the general public
can easily find your company and take advantage of your
products, services and professional expertise. This is the
most affordable way to reach your target market! Listings
run through December 31, 2017 and one Primary Listing
has been included in the Partnership Program.
If you were not already aware of these opportunities,
you must not be following CAI-NJ on social media.

As I mentioned, 90% of our member’s report that they
recommend CAI-NJ membership to others. My goal is to
make that number 100%. Please keep CAI-NJ in mind
when as you talk with your boards, managers and service
provider colleagues. We need your help to grow our
chapter. If you know someone that should be a member,
please refer them to me or bring them to an event. We
are currently the third largest chapter of CAI. Let’s see if we
can become the second largest chapter in 2017! Thank
you!
