President's Message 

BANNJ President, Derek Weissman

Our Golf Committee is working diligently in anticipation of our 78th Annual Golf Outing & Scholarship Awards on May 12th. The event will be held at an exclusive new venue this year, Edgewood Country Club in River Vale, NJ. Our June Northern Lights issue will highlight golf and our very generous sponsors, golfers and scholarship award winners and feature photos from the day. There is still room for dinner guests at the outing
which includes a cocktail reception, perfect for networking with fellow Northern NJ housing professionals. 

The BANNJ Foundation Scholarship Program had an
overwhelming response this year and we will be awarding several scholarships to area students pursuing a college degree in a building industry field or trade school certificate at our Golf & Scholarship Awards Dinner following the outing. Contact the BANNJ office for available tickets at kathleen@bannj.org or 201-843-6868 no later than May 7th. 

As we head into the summer months, save the date for our Multi-Association Summer Business Social at Reno’s Appliance on Thursday, July 10th. Join BANNJ, Metro, NKBA, ASID, NARI and AIA for this annual favorite gathering of the best in the industry!
