In recognition of the hard work and great efforts by our members, service awards will be presented to outstanding individuals in our Chapter. Plan to join in this year-end celebration to highlight and thank these dedicated individuals whose key contributions made this past year possible and a tremendous success.

Register for the meeting.

As the 2011-2012 Chapter year approaches its end, I want to shout out a hearty thank you to the membership for all of your efforts to keep the Puget Sound Chapter humming and in good shape as we move into the 2012-2013 Chapter year. I look forward to seeing all of you at final Chapter meeting of the 2011-2012 term on Thursday, June 14.

Why do you care?

You have moved places of employment in the last year, and people are trying to remember where you went.

This roster is used daily to weekly by most of the specification writers in town to connect architects with local product representatives.  These are architects working on active projects, looking for a basis of design product, trying to figure out how to detail a stair tread insert, select a louver, or choose a roofing system.

How the Roster Works:

For less than the price of a lunch and learn your information can be on the desk of every specifier all year long.

We all like to think we are brilliant; but we forget names and phone numbers, we lose cards.

We can always find our membership roster, or get another one.

What do you do NOW?

1. Log on to CSI National website and make sure your contact information is up to date.
2. Renew your membership if you have been putting it off.
3. Think about what listings would best serve your business.
4. Watch you mail.  Your 2012-2013 Membership Roster update and order form will be arriving in June.
5. If you don't find it, contact the local CSI office by June 30 to make sure you, and your correct information are included.

I had a great time at ProSpec this year. As usual, the Bell Harbor was a great place to meet and enjoy the company of colleagues. The seminar on building envelope design presented by Stéphane P. Hoffman and Medgar Marceau was extraordinary. As usual, dinner was delicious-I had the island style banana leaf roasted black cod. My host, David Walter of Coastal Specified Products, regaled the table with tales of his adventures in roofing.

This was the first year we had a keynote speaker "team." Mario Espinosa and Joe Vondrak were very engaging. I learned quite a bit from their presentation on historic renovation.

The ProSpec planning committee and I are looking forward to doing it again next year. We have already booked the lovely Bell Harbor Conference Center for Tuesday, April 23, 2013. Look for tables to go on sale in November at www.csi-prospec.org. See you next year!
