February....interesting month February can be. While the month is typically short (although this year is a leap year we get that one extra day), it is typically the longest month of the year around these parts - or at least it feels like it because it just seems to drag on. But, optimism abounds! We hope the ground hog brings us an early spring, the winter is close to coming to an end, and most of all February is known for having "love in the air".  And there are two things I absolutely LOVE  about CSINext this time of year....

First thing on my list is our CSNext Chapter Program. This month we are treated to a presentation from our incoming CSINext President for next year Luana Buratynski. She has a fantastic session lined up on Sintered Ceramic Rainscreen Cladding Systems which is becoming more popular in the North American market. Come checkout this sustainable, durable, large format material for facility envelopes! Sign up information can be found on the chapter website and the CSI Calendar of Events.

Another thing I love about February is it is when CSI announces the list of professionals who have obtained CSI certifications from the Fall testing period. 

I am extremely happy to extend congratulations to the following CSINext members upon receiving their certifications:

Robyn Arnold - CCA
Lane Beougher - CCPR
Autumn Sullivan - CCPR
 
As a testament to the quality of the CDT Bootcamp conducted in collaboration with Columbus State Community College the following CDT Bootcamp attendees received their CDT certification as well. Job well done folks and thank you for your participation in another successful CDT Bootcamp!
