HAPPY NEW YEAR CSINext!!!

Welcome to 2018!

Hello everyone, Happy New Year and welcome to 2018! I hope each and everyone of you had a very happy Holiday season!

A special thanks goes out to the CSInext Board for continuing to keep things on track for the last couple of months. November and December were consumed by project completions and occupancy deadlines. Nothing says Happy Holidays like "oh by the way can we be in by Christmas....pllleeeasse?" An toss in mother nature not being very cooperative and it gets busy! In October I was privileged to be on a "European Vacation" so to speak traveling via river up the Rhine and Moselle rivers from Switzerland into Holland. Absolutely beautiful countryside, villages, and architecture. This guy, probably more interested in what was in my CSI backpack than what CSI  is about, sure took an interest in our organization. Nice to see we have an international presence!!

There is a lot in store for 2018. So everyone can get the new year started off we won't be having a chapter meeting in January. However, we will be having two presentations in February so keep an eye out for the details!!

The call for speakers at CONSTRUCT2018 has been extended until the end of Jnuary 2018. If you are interested in submitting a topic for consideration check out the CSI website at http://www.csiresources.org.

It is also certification season again with registration open for the Spring 2018 Exams. I cannot stress enough the importance and the recognition CSI's certifications carry with them. Having a CSI certification in your area of expertise really sets you apart from others in your field. Your clients will know they are dealing with a true professional! Information and requirements can be found at http://www.csiresources.org

Special thanks to Paul Gerber for presenting "Inside the Mind of a Specifier" in December. Great presentation and a valued member of CSI & and CSINext. Thank you Paul!!

Well folks that is it for this month! Welcome to 2018!
