Vote to Improve Yourself!

This is the time of year when you can make your voice known in National, State, and Local elections. Do not forget to vote on November 4th.

It is also the time of year to consider your own career and knowledge base. CSI’s Certification Exams will be given March 30 – April 5, 2009 and registration is now open for the CDT, the CCS, the CCPR, and the CCCA exams at www.csinet.org. Earning new credentials by passing these exams are real achievements to be celebrated. They demonstrate to the design and construction community that you are an authority in your chosen field. Early registration runs through January 2009, so sign up now! We would welcome more expertise in our Chapter.

About 13 interested members and non-members enjoyed a good field trip on October 14 to the Chesapeake Waterway Recycling Plant on the Elizabeth River. The day was warm and fair, and our group objected “not-at-all” when overspray from the floating vs. non-floating debris separator caught us off guard. Our host, Gene Hand, the Terminal manager, gave a video presentation and spent time in a Question and Answer session before our walking tour through the recycling plant itself, so that our group was well-oriented, regarding both the recycling process and the mission at Waterway. Thanks are also due to Tom Gill, our Chapter Programs Chair, for arranging this visit. Come to our next Chapter meeting on November 11, and greet him in person.
