President's Letter

On behalf of the New Jersey Compensation Association (NJCA), I would like to welcome everyone as we kick off our 2021-2022 program year. The last 18 months have been challenging as we have needed to acclimate to working from home, balancing work and family and for some, becoming part-time teachers. Due to COVID-19, the NJCA opted to hold only virtual sessions last year. While we are still navigating the challenges of the pandemic, we are planning to offer a combination of in-person and virtual meetings for the 2021-2022 program year.

Since we were unable to meet in person last year, we will be kicking off our year with a Fall social. This will be an opportunity to meet new people in the Total Rewards profession and reconnect with those you most likely have not seen since 2019. Depending on the weather, the social will be held outside.

Following the social, we will have a virtual meeting in October and a breakfast meeting in November. More information will be posted on those events shortly.

Fall Social – Tuesday, September 21, 5:30-8:30 pm at the Hanover Marriott

Membership Options

Please note, we are upgrading our credit card invoicing process. As a result, we are unable to accept membership fees via credit card at this time. We have extended everyone’s membership until the upgrade is complete.

The NJCA offers organizational memberships as well as individual memberships for those who wish to remain active in the total rewards profession. We are always looking to grow both our corporate and individual membership so please feel free to promote the educational and networking benefits membership affords you within your respective your HR/compensation network. 

Annual memberships are:

• Company Membership: $295 for unlimited members - this is the best value as it enables you to bring unlimited number of attendees from your company to our meetings
• Individual Membership: $100

Meetings are free for NJCA members. Non-members are welcome to attend meetings at a cost of $35 per meeting.

Hope to see you at our upcoming events!

Nick Vollrath
President, NJCA

What is the New Jersey Compensation Association?

The New Jersey Compensation Association (NJCA) is an independent professional association committed to providing leadership in the education and development of compensation and total rewards professionals. The NJCA advances the body of knowledge of its members through educational seminars, networking opportunities and related activities and services.

We meet at different venues in New Jersey several times a year. Our meetings include informal discussions over breakfast or dinner, Total Rewards related presentations with guest speakers, and segments allowing for open discussion and member company news.

NJCA is proud to be a local chapter of World at Work, the national Total Rewards association. We sponsor several World at Work classes every year for individuals who wish to attain various total rewards designations.
