President's Message
Thank you to all
members and guests who attended our Economic & Housing Forecast presented
by NAHB Chief Economist, Dr. Robert Dietz, on March 3rd. Dr. Dietz gave a very valuable overview of the
current and future housing market outlook and economic policies affecting the
industry, including a subset of the New Jersey market to educate our members. Topics included inflation, monetary policy, unemployment, interest rates, supply chain issues, and lumber prices.
Next up is our joint meeting with the National Kitchen & Bath Association of NNJ at the beautiful Ferguson Showroom in Mahwah, NJ on Thursday, April 27th. Join us at this valuable industry networking event and gain insight on new and future trends in kitchen design and functionality from our expert speaker, Kimberly Little of Sub Zero, Wolf & Cove. CEU credits available for attendees. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with industry professionals from another organization and gain educational insights to enhance your business knowledge.
