Are you looking for a new management company or financial advisor? Does your  landscaping need an expert green thumb? Is your roof looking a little worn from  the ravages of the New Jersey winter?  

 Help is available at The New Jersey Cooperator’s Annual Condo, HOA & Co-op Expo, which in 2012 is celebrating its 5th year of serving communities in  New Jersey. The popular trade show will return to the Meadowlands Exposition  Center at 355 Plaza Drive in Secaucus on Wednesday, May 9, 2012, for a day of  networking, education and fun. And best of all, it’s free.  

 Over 200 exhibitors, from attorneys to roofers to managers and financial  professionals, will showcase a variety of products and services to fill the  needs of condos, HOAs and co-ops throughout the Garden State and beyond. Along  with the trade show, the event—running from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.—will feature educational seminars and free advice booths designed keep your  community running smoothly.  

 Prizes, Prizes, Prizes

 No Expo would be complete without prize giveaways! What community couldn’t use a little extra financial assistance? Attend the 2012 Condo, HOA & Co-op Expo and you could be the big winner of The New Jersey Cooperator’s $2,500 Reserve Fund drawing. The winner will be drawn after Expo registration has closed, and a check will be  made payable to the winner’s association, care of their management company. Only board members qualify to enter the drawing, and attendance at the Expo is  required for eligibility. For complete details, visit the Expo website,  www.nj-expo.com.  

 Seminars and Much More

 Good information and clear communication are crucial for not just thriving, but  surviving in today's challenging economic times. Finding that information and  developing communication strategies isn't always easy. The Expo offers the  opportunity to do both, in one day and under one roof.  

 The seminars routinely attract standing-room-only audiences, and a great lineup  is planned for the 2012 event. Presenters will include the law firm of Stark & Stark and management firm Association Advisors, among others.  

 You will also find free advice on topics ranging from financial shortfalls to  errant board members, pest problems, boiler breakdowns and other  maintenance-challenges. Keep an eye on upcoming issues of The New Jersey Cooperator, or visit the Expo  website, www.nj-expo.com, for the latest news.  

 Mark the date now—Wednesday, May 9, 2012—and get ready for an information-packed day at The Condo, HOA & Co-op Expo in Secaucus. And don’t forget—you can register online for free at www.nj-expo.com.
