is very important to me
as it relates to this year’s Senior Summit. The Senior
Summit is one of our best attended homeowner events.
I connect to this seminar for several reasons, I started my man-
agement career in 1984 at the communities at Concordia
in Monroe Township and spent the majority of the next 30
plus years managing age-targeted communities. My last
position prior to assuming my current role as CAI-NJ’s Chapter
Executive Director was the Senior Manager for Renaissance
at Manchester, which by the way has generously hosted our
Senior Summit for the past several years. So, I consider myself
“A Senior Manager of Senior Communities.”
This year’s Senior Summit (under the guidance of Angela
Kavanaugh and the CAVL Committee) has a revamped
program which makes it more timely and interactive. Please
read Angela’s “Inside Connection” article on page 11 for a
better description of the revised format. This is a free event
for our homeowner/board members and community man-
agers only, and a complimentary breakfast will be served.
Please take the time to read the articles in this issue as
they relate to our lifestyle communities which is a vast per-
centage of our CAVL membership. And just as important,
if you’re a manager, board member or community volun-
teer, mark your calendar and plan on attending this year’s
Senior Summit. I’m sure you will find the new format more
interesting and informative.
