The last lecture was held on May 19th and the topic was Cyber Threat Awareness, which kept everybody’s attention because of the proliferation of computer break-ins around the country and the sensitive data being stolen. It is these kind of timely lecturers that help volunteer leaders sleep better at night. As they say, a little knowledge goes a long way! And yes, the lectures are free to members.

CAI-NJ Legislative Chart What is more important than knowing what upcoming legislation may impact the governing and oper- ations of the community association board that I serve on? Knowing what legislation is on the horizon is critical to being an informed board member. You can take proactive steps if you are aware of upcoming changes. On the cainj.org website, there is a Legislative tab that offers Monthly Update, Current Issues, and Bill Chart. The first two sections give an overview of current pending leg- islation regarding common interest communities in New Jersey. The Bill Chart explains in more detail what each proposed bill entails. I encour- age you to keep abreast of legisla- tive developments that effect com- munity associations. No one likes surprises! Don’t be caught unaware of changes to laws governing com- munity associations.
