thought that I would use this opportunity as my last arti-

cle for 2017 to do a recap of

Community Trends

and

the Editorial Committees accomplishments for the year.

I have the pleasure to serve as staff liaison the Editorial

Committee, who volunteer countless hours to CAI-NJ to help

in providing the membership with outstanding articles and

timely content.

The 2017 Editorial Committee continues to surpass the

expectations laid out for them, this is one of the toughest

committees that CAI-NJ has, due to the demand of respon-

sibilities and the time commitment that this group of industry

professionals puts into each issue.

The committee this year has developed a few new initia-

tives that have aided

Community Trends

in being one of

the best industry resources around. One of the new pieces

included the “Do One Thing Better” sections. This was

featured in a few issues in 2017, and we would love to

see one in each upcoming issue of 2018. “Do One Thing

Better” is a section that spotlights a topic in an infographic

and quick read layout to allow for a straight to the point,

informational read.

To honor veterans and those still serving our country,

the “Spotlight on Service” section was developed. This

year we had multiple submissions the were included in the

issues. Please see the guidelines on page 45 and help

us to continue honoring these amazing individuals in our

industry.

"The 2017 Editorial Committee

I would like to thank the entire committee for their support

and give a special thank you to our Chair, Joe Chorba,

CPA, and Vice Chair, Kari Valentine, CMCA, AMS for

a job well done! I would also like to thank the women

behind the scenes that works with me every month to

compile and layout the magazine, Michele Newman with

Brainerd Communications, Inc. She has the tireless task of

keeping us on schedule to ensure our deadlines are met

each month.

Please keep an eye out for the editorial calendar which

lays out the themes for the year. As always, the committee

needs you as our members to submit articles for upcoming

issues. You are the experts, and we want to hear from

you! Please feel free to send your articles directly to me at

jaclyn@cainj.org .
