Thank you to the BRANNJ Members and Guests who attended our June 18th Lunch & Learn meeting with the Eastern Bergen County Board of Realtors in Hasbrouck Heights.  Over 70 attendees from the building and real estate industries enjoyed lunch provided by Dave Taormina and Greg Knox of EverBank, BRANNJ Premier Partners and also members of EBCBOR, as well as a very informative discussion on housing industry trends, real estate market analysis, mortgage and financing options and legislative issues. Special thanks Laura Rubinfield, CEO and Melissa Piccinich, VP Government Affairs of EBCBOR for helping to put together such a fantastic collaborative event for both of our memberships.  Speakers on the panel included:  BRANNJ President, Charles Baldanza (Baldanza Design + Build); Anthony Volpe (Volpe Custom Homes); Nelson Chen (The Chen Agency); Jan Kwapniewski (Coccia Realty, Inc.) and Dave Taormina (EverBank).  Click Here to View Photos of the Event

After the summer, please join us for our Annual Texas Hold Em Night on Friday, September 19th!  Chairman of the Board, Glen Lumia, will host the event at his home in Old Tappan again this year.   Please join us to play in the tournament or just for networking and dinner with area building industry attendees.  There are many great sponsorships opportunities as well, but they are selling out quickly so don’t delay.  Click here to Register.    Click Here to Sponsor 

I hope to see you there, and also at our other great fall events!  For a complete list of upcoming events, visit click here.   

Wishing all BRANNJ Members and their families a happy, healthy and safe summer.  See you in September!


Best regards,

Charlie
