President’s Message Continued If you haven’t heard, our PWBGS and YPC are making a difference in the communities we serve. I’m really excited about a few things that our Professional Women in Building of the Garden State and Young Professionals have been involved in that I would like to share. On June 9th Collier Youth Services honored our Association and the PWBGS at its Summer Social for the continued support of the young, female residents of the youth group home in

involved in protecting our interests through legal and legislative issues, and had been a tremendous resource for our Association through the pandemic. Congratulations on the Outstanding Achievement Award which was presented to them at the FAME awards in May. We are deeply thankful for all you do for SBACNJ and ask that everyone read the article about the company’s many years of service. There are so many things happening in our Association this summer, so it’s important that all our members are engaged and active. One of the best ways to participate is through committee work (check with gina@ shorebuilders.org for committee assignments) and attending events. Also, make sure you are receiving our weekly MemberLinks email (check with Christine@shorebuilders.org to make sure you’re included) and of course, this publication, Bulletin Board Magazine. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at Martell’s this month for our BBQ on the Beach and be sure to save the dates for the first interactive workshop on September 27th, as well as Oktoberfest on October 18th. Have a great summer!

You can read more about PWBGS’s dedication to Collier Youth Services in this article. Our Young Professionals Committee has been busy with their outreach to local youth and schools, with their mission to educate students on career opportunities in construction. Last month, our members presented several scholarships to graduating OCTVS students, and over the past several months attended many local career fairs. I am so proud of all our young professionals who are actively working on the VOTEC outreach, which is so important, particularly now with such a need for skilled tradespeople in our industry. You can read more about these efforts in Adam McIndoe’s YPC article. One other mention I would like to make in this President’s Message is Giordano, Halleran & Ciesla, who are a long-time SBACNJ Platinum Sponsor, have been integral to our operations as an Association, are highly
