"Message from the Editor"

    April 1st will be the last day for members of the NJNEOA to be able to take advantage of the “Free Attendance” to the 2026 Conference, May 18-21, in Atlantic City. As of April 2nd the fee for members will become $20.00. Likewise, as of that date, the fee for non-members increases to $65.00.

  There is a lot of logistical planning entailed in the actual layout of both the conference and awards luncheon. The venue itself only has so much space available. Knowing the attendance in advance affords the venue the ability to provide us with the best setup to fit our needs.

   It ceases to amaze me how many individuals like to wait until the last-minute before committing. Apparently the cost isn’t a factor.

   But, on another note, regarding the awards luncheon, the $65.00 registration fee will increase on May 2nd to $80.00. Absolutely NO REGISTRATIONS will be accepted after May 8th. That is the day that the venue requires we provide a head count. So, all emails and phone calls from individuals looking to register after that date will not be entertained.

  Caesars Entertainment is a business and we are their guests. The NJNEOA has to abide by their rules. They have been quite hospitable through the years and have kept it affordable for both the NJNEOA to provide, and its attendees to attain, training at such a low cost. So please cooperate with us so that we can keep our relationship with the venue on good terms.

  Lastly, I want to thank each one of our members and their agencies that support us every year. We are only able to provide the free and/or low cost training because of your dues.

  Keep safe & thank you.
