It was great to see so many BANNJ members at the Annual Atlantic Builders Convention in Atlantic City earlier this month from April 2nd to April 4th.  
There was a lot of positive feedback regarding the new format with taking the show out of the convention center and having everything held under one roof at Harrah’s.
