UP, UP, AND AWAY...
  

Greetings!
This editor recently had a fabulous experience in the skies over Albuquerque, courtesy of our Institute representative, Neil Davison, CSI, CCS, CCCA, AIA. And enjoyed some lively CSI discussions with Albuquerque Chapter leaders.

 

CSI is on the ascent these days, and I hope you're part of the rising level of activity and expectation where you are. Your local Chapters are working hard to increase the value of CSI to their members, as well as to the construction industry as a whole. Won't you consider being a crew member or pilot for the next flight? 

 
Sincerely,

Dave Bishton, RA, CSI, CCS
