March 2024


President's Message  

BANNJ President, Derek Weissman
 
 After a wonderful 80th Anniversary Celebration on February 8th, we are looking ahead to our spring events.  Our February Northern Lights issue thanked our attendees, sponsors, advertisers, award winners, volunteers and installed officers and board of directors who helped to make this event such a success, and a special thank you goes out to the National Association of Home Builders for posting and highlighting this significant milestone for BANNJ.

Next up, join us on March 7th at 4:00pm for an extremely important educational presentation by Jared Lans, Esq., who will discuss The New Corporate Transparency Act and How It Affects All Businesses.  You can’t afford to miss it, and we have company registration available to include your entire team. On April 26th, we have a fun and collaborative event planned with Metropolitan Builders and Contractors and National Kitchen and Bath Association for a Night at the Races at Meadowlands Racetrack.  Don’t miss the opportunity to network with other association members while enjoying food, live racing and the NFL draft televised on big screens.   Sponsor packages available and tickets and sponsorships are extremely limited so register today!  Our Annual Golf Outing and Scholarship Awards at White Beeches Golf & Country Club will take place on Monday, May 13th.  Sponsorship packages are available to showcase your company to the Northern NJ building industry.  Tee- up New Business while enjoying a day at this beautiful, private course or just join us for cocktails, dinner, and networking.  I am looking forward to working with our members this year to carry out planned initiatives of strengthening membership, elevating education and advocacy, and fostering greater engagement to continue building on the accomplishments of our last 80 years to move forward into a successful future.

The Builders Association of Northern New Jersey would like to congratulate Rich Robinson, HBA Rebate Program, for completing his two year term as The NAHB National Associate Chairman. This position is the highest level of leadership for an associate member and we couldn't be more proud of his time, talent, and treasure representing all associates. 
Rich is a past Associate VP of BANNJ, currently sits on BANNJ's Board of Directors and is also representing BANNJ as an NAHB Leadership Council Delegate.
