Don't forget that BPMIA hosts NJBOA's regular May Association meeting every year in May. This year's meeting was held at Francesco's Restaurant on May 23rd.  A representative from Simson Strong Tie was in attendance with a presentation. 

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.

SECTION 5:          REGIONAL  REPRESENTATIVE (proposed amendment)

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.
