| BANNJ President, Derek Weissman |
Many thanks to Jared Lans, Esq. for presenting a valuable overview of The New Corporate Transparency Act and how it affects all member businesses on March 7th. The information was very interesting and important for members to know to protect your companies from fines and penalties that may be imposed. As this law is still in the process of determining certain parameters and guidelines, stay tuned for an update from Jared on this topic later this year.
On April 26th, we have a fantastic event with the Metropolitan Builders and Contractors Association and the National Kitchen and Bath Association NNJ for Night at the Races at Meadowlands Racetrack! Contact kathleen@bannj.org for any available tickets.
We hope to see many of our members at our 77th Annual Golf Outing & Scholarship Awards at White Beeches Golf & Country Club on Monday, May 13th. Reserve a foursome or golf tickets, sponsor to highlight your company to Northern NJ industry professionals and/or attend the cocktail reception and dinner after the outing for excellent networking. Foursomes and golf tickets are selling fast so be sure to reserve your spot today at https://members.bannj.org/events.
