Chapter Traditions

CSINext Chapter Members,

It’s that time again — our favorite End-of-Year Chapter Tradition is back! Get ready for the December Procrastinators Workshop, where you can choose between 1 to 4 HSW-accredited presentations to wrap up your CEUs before the year ends. This year, we have added a special bonus: we are dovetailing our Wednesday, December 10 workshops with CSI’s online HSW presentation that same day! That means—with your CSI benefits—you can earn up to 5 LUs in one productive, power-packed day! For full details and registration, hop over to the CSI Next website to register.

Chapter News

Be sure to check out the great photos of Lane Beougher, President-Elect, and Mark Ogg, Membership Chair, from the CSI National Convention. They proudly represented our chapter, attending leadership sessions, networking with peers and CSI leadership, and—drumroll—accepting our newest chapter award! Their enthusiasm and advocacy continue to strengthen our chapter’s presence on the national stage. Thank you, Lane and Mark, for making us look good!

Business Updates

Your voice matters! Join us for our December Chapter Meeting on Wednesday, December 10 at 12:30 PM Eastern. (Yes, same day as our Procrastinators Workshop—we like to keep the excitement rolling!) During the meeting, we’ll present and vote on the updated Chapter Bylaws, which the Board has reviewed and approved in draft form. You can find the document posted on our website for your review. Please send any questions or comments to a Board member—we want to hear from you. Let’s come together to reaffirm our mission and continue building a strong, professional foundation for CSINext.

November Presentation Alert!

Don’t miss Thad Goodman, our very own Chapter Secretary and longtime CSINext member and sponsor. Thad brings a treasure trove of real-world knowledge from his role as Construction Design Manager for National Gypsum. His session on architectural codes, lessons learned, and insider tips will help you navigate everything from the everyday to the incredibly complex project challenges. If you have ever attended one of Thad’s talks, you know—you’ll walk away smarter and entertained.

Here’s to learning, connecting, and closing the year strong—CSINext style.

See you soon!

Staci
