CAI-NJ 2016 PRESIDENT | ASSOCIATION ADVISORS
I
t’s really difficult to believe that it’s already June and that
my term as President of CAI-NJ is half way through.
It’s been an exciting six months with a lot of energy
and enthusiasm within the chapter staff, board and our
awesome committee volunteers. I can never say or write
it enough, “THANK YOU,“ for all you do to make our

event at the Escape Room in Freehold and organizing a
food drive at our recent Spring Break Party. I look forward
to seeing additional events from the Fast Team in the future!
One of my appointments this year was to create a chap-
ter Strategic Planning Workgroup of which the Chairperson
is Past National and Chapter President, J. David Ramsey,
Esq. They were charged with presenting a draft of a long-term
plan for our chapter for the Board of Directors to review and
give final approval. They have met a few times and are on
schedule to present their findings shortly.
Lastly and most importantly, the board awarded edu-
cational reimbursements to five managers from the newly
established Jules C. Frankel Manager Education Assistance
Program (MAP). Those managers are listed below. The
chapter will continue receiving applications and the next
deadline for submissions will be April 1, 2017, with the
awards being given out no later than April 15, 2017.

We exhibited at the recent Atlantic Builders Convention
in Atlantic City this year as a result of discussions at a
newly formed Builders Committee. We exchanged

chapter was minimum to exhibit. The staff thought it
was worthwhile to attend. In addition to soliciting new
members, we gained some new exposure to a different
group of conference attendees.
Our “FAST TEAM“ is off to a good start, holding a net-
