President's Message
Every September our association acknowledges the hard working volunteers that help BRANNJ be as successful as it can possibly be. Most of our volunteers are our subcontractors, suppliers and service providers, AKA associates. It is my honor to have my message today set the stage beginning September 1st and held throughout the month of September.
Associates, I offer on your behalf...
Associate BRANNJ Proclamation
WHEREAS, a sense of
caring and desire to strengthen the industry have motivated thousands of
Associate members to volunteer their time and services to the needs of the Builders & Remodelers Association (BRANNJ); and
WHEREAS, our Associate
members possess many skills and talents which they generously and
enthusiastically apply to a variety of association tasks; and
WHEREAS, all members of
this association and the community benefit from the deeds of these selfless and
dedicated individuals; and
WHEREAS, the achievements
of Associate members have become an essential part of the association’s proud
history, tradition, and spirit;
NOW, THEREFORE, I wish to
honor the Associate members of BRANNJ who give so freely of their valuable time,
energy, and abilities by proclaiming the month of September 2015 to be
officially designated as Associate Member Appreciation Month.
I call upon all members
to recognize this special period by appreciating and extolling the goodness of
the Associate members and by following their shining example.
