articles are focused on
safety and security issues within community associa-
tions. Given the state of affairs and incidents that have
been occurring locally and on a national level these articles
are timely and of importance to all of us. Please continue
to be aware of your surroundings and be safe in the future.
Our chapter staff and members have been busy the last
few months and I would like to share some noteworthy
updates that make CAI-NJ one of the premier and forward-
looking chapters in the country.
We held a very successful 2nd Annual Olympics at
which a record number of teams and participants raised
more than $3,700, which we presented to the Make a
Wish Foundation of New Jersey last month. We invited
the staff at Make A Wish to enter a team and attend our
Olympics in 2017.
Our signature networking event, the Annual Beach Party
was held on August 11th, and the weather cooperated.
We had over 700 attendees who had a great time recon-
necting with old friends and meeting new ones.
We continue to hold our various educational seminars,
2016 Lecture Series, Managers Leadership Program,
Legislative Breakfast and Educated Business Partner Class,
each providing timely and relevant educational material to
all the attendees. All of these seminars have been sold out
“IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING “
"All of these seminars have been
sold out in a short time and in a

of prospective attendees."
in a short time and in a few instances had a waiting list
of prospective attendees. If you have not attended any of
these seminars I would encourage you to as we have made
an effort to increase the level of expertise and knowledge
that is conveyed to our members at each of these respective
seminars.
Make sure to keep an eye out for the December issue of

the Pre-Conference Networking Reception as well as the

Thank you all for all that you do to make CAI-NJ a vital
and important part of your association, career and or
business!
