More specifications history

Alexandria, Va. (June 17, 2013) – CSI announced today that the organization will elevate five members to Fellows of the Institute during the Honors and Awards Gala at CONSTRUCT 2013 & The CSI Annual Convention in Nashville, Tennessee on Friday, September 27.

Where have I heard that before?

I need your help... How many times have we heard that? 2012-13 has turned out to be a very good year for CSINext. But it is one of those things that no one person can do it alone. I'm still looking to work in the background. With another year behind me I have mentally made the commitment to keep CSINext on track and make this next year better than last. CLICK HERE if you are interested in volunteering… Remember it take a village to raise a virtual chapter.

Something New for 2018

We've had what I would call a pretty good year for CSINext. I wanted to wrap up the year with a little "toilet" humor. Most of these images have been going around in email and the internet for years. But I thought it would be funny to have an one stop shop for the pictures. This may become a series of what not to do in construction... only time will tell. I hope you get a good chuckle out these.

Election time

I need your help... How many times have we heard that? CSINext has floundered over the past year, mainly due to my health and spreading myself to thin. I have cleared off most of my plate, feeling good and I'm looking to work in the background again. I have mentally made the commitment to get CSINext back on track and make this next year the best it can be. I remember how CSINext started off strong and it filled the missing gap in CSI for the members. With that, we are looking bring up to speed in the next 30 days a new President and President-Elect. Here are our goals for 2012-13:

CSINext January 2018 Anniversaries

We’ve been hacked! Not just once, but twice. With that CSINext has moved its hosting and domain to goDaddy. For the moment, everything looks the same, but we will have a few more changes under the hood. The first thing you will notice is the speed improvement, being closer to the top of the chain and on faster servers makes a big difference. We have upgraded Joomla to the latest for improved security (and hope to prevent Hacks in the future).

HAPPY NEW YEAR CSINext & Welcome to 2018!

We have been busy behind the scenes at CSINext. We had our chapter meeting with a good turn out last November and the meeting is just around the corner in February (tenative date is February 16th).
