President’s Message - July 2014

Greetings CSINexters,
Welcome to the start of our new fiscal year, FY15!  Things are off to a great beginning for the only virtual chapter in the Institute. It’s going to be a terrific year and I am excited to be at the helm.  That said, I have a wonderful board of directors working with me.  This truely is a team effort and I am honored to be part of this group.

First, a little about me - I am a long time CSI member with roots in the West Region.  I joined the San Francisco Chapter many years ago and learned lots about what makes this organization so special.  When I moved to Dallas, I immediately hooked up with the Dallas Chapter and have been an active member ever since.  Currently, I am running my own company - which is nice because I can give myself permission to do CSI work durng traditional business hours. ;)

I work from a home office in Arlington, Texas.  We are 1 mile from the Globe Life Park (Texas Rangers baseball) and AT&T Stadium.  When we have board or chapter meetings, don’t be surprised if you hear barking.  We have 3 Boston Terriers who actually call most of the shots here.  Izzy is 12-½ years old, Navy is 3-½, and Buckley is 1-½.  

Now, back to some CSI business.  First, a big “THANK YOU” to the folks at PPG.  They are the sponsors of our web casting subscription.  We are so grateful for their support.  You can look forward to another great presentation at a  future chapter meeting from one of their top notch architectural representatives. http://www.ppgpro.com/commercial/architects/

We have leadership in place for the next 3 years.  Our incoming President-Elect is Ann G. Baker, PA, CSI, CCS, CCCA, from Colorado  Our incoming Vice President is Nina M. Giglio, FCSI, CCS, SCIP, from North Carolina.  Daniel Hargreaves, FCSI, CDT, AIA, RAS ,will continue in the role of Secretary (technical wizard, jack of all trades). Continuing in the role of treasurer is Robert L. Dye, FCSI, CCS, CCCA, RRC, LEED AP.  Our Director of Programs is  Lane J. Beougher, FCSI, CCS, CCCA, AIA, LEED AP.  Robert Huserik, RA, CSI, CDT, Immediate Past President is taking on the role of Program Chair.

This year is looking to be one full of great programs and opportunities.  Please give me or any of the board members a shout if you have any ideas or programs or would like to give us a hand.  You can find our contact information here at the chapter website (http://csinext.org/the-board).  The most fun part of this chapter is that our board meetings, as well as our chapter meetings, are virtual - we are using webcams and it’s just a good time!

Have a great July and we will see you in September for our first chapter meeting.  If any of you are attending the Construct Show in Baltimore, let’s try to hook up and meet each other in person!

Cynthia Belisle, CSI, CDT, RA
President
