Njlica Dues And Erisa Trust Clarification

The NJLICA dues year runs from September 1–August 31 of each year. Dues invoices are mailed to every NJLICA member, both NJDOL public works and non-public works contractors, and associate members just after Labor Day. It is greatly appreciated if you pay your annual dues at that time.

NJDOL public works contractors are also required to make an annual contribution to the ERISA Trust Fund. This payment is legislated by the state of New Jersey and is due on the anniversary date of your company joining the Apprenticeship Program. These invoices are mailed a month prior to your anniversary date. Payment is required in order to remain compliant with the NJDOL and maintain your public works certificate.

Members that are participants in the United Fire Group Insurance Program will receive your renewal invoice in September as well. Payment is required at that time, not on the renewal date of your insurance. Payment is required to maintain your participation in the insurance program.

Njlica To Contract With A Lobbyist

As an ongoing effort to remain “in the know” and keep our members informed about legislation affecting our industry, NJLICA is interviewing potential lobbyists. It is the intent of NJLICA to be more proactive regarding legislation and less reactive moving forward. The hope is to have a lobbying firm in place this summer.

MORE GOLF, ANYONE?

The NJLICA Golf Classic has grown each year, and it has reached capacity. With that in mind, all indications are that NJLICA will offer a second golf outing each year starting in 2024. NJLICA is looking to book the historical Banks Course at Forsgate Country Club in Monroe Township.

INTERESTED IN BEING MORE INVOLVED?

NJLICA continues to look for motivated people to assume committee positions within the association. With an everincreasing membership and an expanded event calendar, there are a variety of committees, including scholarship, events, membership, legislative, and communication, to get involved with.
