Happy New Year! Hope it will be better for
you and the nation.
Your Chapter Board of Directors has been busy preparing
revisions to the Chapter’s Bylaws. These have been
necessitated due to the Institute’s restructuring
of the membership categories. It has also been a chance
for us to update them more to the way we are doing business.
The Institute’s Governance Committee has recommended
acceptance to the Institute’s Secretary. When we
get the Institute Secretary’s approval, we will
then send them to you via e-mail for your review and approval.
Speaking of e-mail, if you haven’t been to the Institute’s
web site and updated your account profile, please do so
ASAP. The Institute will be issuing their annual ballot
via e-mail. Our Chapter will also be issuing our ballot
electronically via your recorded profile e-mail address.
The Chapter will be starting our Construction Document
Technician (CDT) learning sessions starting on January
16th. If interested contact Glen Reimer at ghreimer@msn.com
ASAP. The spring exams will be given in April and these
sessions will help you gain the knowledge that you need.
Even if you aren’t taking the exam, you can audit
the sessions – we just ask that you acquire the
text.
Our January Meeting‘s topic will be ConsensusDocs.
If you use the industry standard documents this will help
you belter understand them. If you don’t, you may
wish to see what you’re missing. Join us at Taaza
Restaurant on January 19th. Our February Meeting ‘s
topic will be on polished concrete – watch for more
information and check the Chapter Meetings and Event tab
on this web site.
Make the most of your membership and join in on the Chapter’s
activities. You’ll gain knowledge and networking
opportunities.
