September 2016

President's Message


I hope that all BRANNJ members had a wonderful summer with family and friends.  As September has arrived, it is time to get back into our schedule of meetings and events, and thanks to all for attending and supporting our local association events.  There are still a few seats available for the September 8th OSHA Lunch Seminar at Ferguson in Secaucus. 
Be sure to attend to protect your business and get valuable information on new OSHA regulations and substantially increased fines, including potential criminal penalties.  

Our Annual Texas Hold Em Night is on Friday, September 23rd at the home of past president and builder member, Glen Lumia of Creative Design Construction.  This is always an excellent building industry networking evening and you may attend to play in the tournament, attend just for dinner/socialize and/or take advantage of some excellent sponsorship opportunities to put your brand/company name in front of Northern NJ building industry peers.  

See below for details of all exciting and informative upcoming fall events, and register online at brannj.org.  Thank you so much to all BRANNJ members who donated school supplies and backpacks for our Back To School drive with builder member Belvedere Building & Contracting on behalf of CFA to benefit Bergen County school children in need.  “Together we can build up communities..."







I would also like to welcome new member...
