| BANNJ President, John Cioletti |
I hope our members and families are safe and well and that the information going out from the 3 arms of your membership, BANNJ, NJBA and NAHB, have provided you with timely and valuable tools to help your businesses.
Our Programs-Associates Committee has scheduled some informative and fun events coming up in March.
On March 9th, ASID NJ and BANNJ will have a joint virtual roundtable at which I will be speaking about the kitchen appliance industry and the effects of the pandemic on supply chain and disruption that pertains to all building industry professionals. Login in to Zoom and join the discussion.
On March 11th, we have a fun and festive virtual cooking class with Sub Zero Corporate Chef Ann Marie Soohoo. Join us to learn how to make Irish Soda Bread just in time for St. Patrick’s Day.
Many thanks to associate member SportProsUSA and builder member Archuleta Builders for their support as “Luck of the Irish” sponsors for the event (see ads below).

Escalation Clause for Lumber Materials
NAHB recommends including an escalation clause in contracts that indicates if lumber prices increase by a certain percentage, the customer would be required to pay the extra costs. I hope you find useful. Please share with me your success story with this addition to your contracts. I’d love to let NAHB know of its value.
