Why LEAD?
"It was a day of unlimited information and camaraderie with other Region members. I had hoped that more members of our chapter could have attended as this is not just for leaders of CSI. This conference provides continuing education and so much more for our professional development and daily life. We talked about what the Institute has to offer and what we can expect in the future; mentoring; hosting a Region Conference including budgeting and sponsorship; expanding our contacts in the construction industry; tours; planning a product show and how one chapter has made it a premier event in their area. And yes, growing membership. It is an event that is too good to pass up."
