 President's Message

Thank you to BANNJ board members Richard Gaynor of Middleton & Company and Jared Lans, Esq. for presenting a very informative virtual seminar for our members on April 22^nd concerning the new NJ Marijuana Legislation and how it affects businesses and the workplace.    PowerPoint slides are available from our presenters for those who were unable to attend the seminar.   As the economy begins to open up again,  we are in the process of scheduling in-person events for the remainder of the year beginning with our Annual Golf Outing & Scholarship Awards on Monday, May 24^th at White Beeches Golf & Country Club. Golfer spots are nearly sold out, but you can still join us for networking at the cocktail and dinner portion of the event to reconnect with building industry peers. Register online or call the BANNJ office today and be sure to view the June issue of Northern Lights for the full list of all of the golf winners, golf sponsors and scholarship award winners.

Sad News: Condolences to BANNJ Builder Member, Billy Procida, on the passing of his father, Joseph M. Procida on March 31, 2021 at the age of 88. We send our heartfelt sympathies to the entire Procida family.
