Don't forget that BPMIA hosts NJBOA's regular May Association meeting every year in May. This year's meeting will be held at Francesco's Restaurant at 568 McBride Ave in Woodland Park NJ on May 23rd.  A representative from Simson Strong Tie will be in attendance with a presentation. Let us show our support by making every effort to attend.

At the May 9, 2018 meeting a first reading was held of a By Law amendment to Article VII, Chapter 5. The current section is immediately below, with the amendment found below that. There will be a second reading and a call for comments and a possible vote at the June 6th, 2018 regular meeting.

On March 5, 2018 amendments to Ordinary Maintenance and Minor

Work found at N.J.A.C 5:23-2.7 and 2.17A respectively, were officially adopted. A suggestion I have is to write down questions you might have for the DCA and maybe we can present them to Trenton as an Association.
