Dear Esteemed Colleagues,

As co-chairs of ERAPPA 2025, it is our pleasure to extend a warm welcome to each of you as we prepare to gather in Atlantic City, NJ for the Eastern Region’s premier higher education facilities conference. We are truly honored to lead this event alongside our dedicated planning team.

Our theme this year, “Guide Your Future,” embodies the spirit of resilience and forward-thinking that defines our profession. Like the steadfast beacon of a coastal lighthouse, it illuminates the path forward amidst the ever-changing landscape of higher education facilities management. Together, we will embrace this theme and navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

In a few months, the Hardrock Resort will serve as our venue for learning, networking, and camaraderie. From insightful educational sessions to engaging discussions in our “Hall of Resources,” there will be ample opportunities to exchange ideas and foster meaningful connections.

While the conference promises to be intellectually stimulating, we also encourage you to immerse yourselves in the unique charm of Atlantic City. Whether it’s exploring the boardwalk, shopping the outlets, taking a walk on our sandy beaches, or savoring local cuisine, let’s make the most of our time together both professionally and personally.

As we plan to embark on this journey, you are encouraged to embrace every opportunity, forge new connections, and make lasting memories. Together, we have the power to make ERAPPA 2025 a truly unforgettable experience.

Safe travels, and we look forward to welcoming you to Atlantic City in the Fall!

Warm regards,
Amy Baker, New Jersey Institute of Technology
