Hello, CSINext Members!
I hope you had a refreshing summer! While many were enjoying some well-deserved time off, your CSINext Board was hard at work preparing for the year ahead. We are excited to share what is in store for the upcoming chapter season, and we think you will be too.
Exciting Chapter News!
We are honored to announce that CSINext has received the CSI National Chapter Commendation Award! This prestigious recognition is given to chapters that demonstrate exceptional performance across key areas including governance, membership, education, and community outreach. It also highlights additional efforts such as scholarship programs and collaborative events. This award reflects the dedication of our entire chapter, and renews our energy to continue growing and supporting YOU, our members.
2025-2026 Chapter Meeting dates:
Although we are have a steady monthly meeting attendance, we want to launch our engagement and momentum. During our summer planning meeting, the board identified a key goal this year is to increase monthly attendance. To this end, we will communicate better with more frequent meeting reminders and timely web postings to keep everyone in the loop. We also reviewed historical data for meeting dates and times and are happy to present a New Meeting Time which we feel will benefit the membership as a whole. Starting this month, our monthly meetings will be held on 2nd Wednesdays of each month at noon Eastern Time, unless posted otherwise.
Our new season begins next Wednesday, September 10th at noon Eastern time, so mark your calendars. We are thrilled to welcome Denali Jones from the Air Barrier Association of America presenting: "Blown Away: Unmasking the Secrets of Whole Building Airtightness Testing." I have personally seen this presentation, and it is absolutely worth your time. You will walk away with practical, project-ready information that you can put to use immediately. Don't miss it!
Sneak Peak
And there's more on the horizon! We're preparing to launch an exciting initiative for members pursuing the CDT (Construction Documents Technologist) certification. If you're planning to take the exam in the next 9 months, this opportunity is for you. We will be unveiling full details before the October chapter meeting, so stay tuned—you won't want to miss it.
Thank you again for being part of CSINext. We hope to make this our best year yet!
Staci Seyer, CSI
CSINext President 2025-2026
