May 2013 Meeting Recap

Greetings! We had our May Chapter meeting of CSINext. The presentation went smooth and it was our second month with out a major techno glitch .. well I did loose my Microphone at the end, but I'm blaming that on Windows 8. CSINext would like to thank our presenter Sarah E. Caldwell, MBA, CSI, CDT, LEED-AP she did an excellent job and the presentation is available for online viewing...

Before the meeting started we had a few Chapter Business items to discuss. First item is we are still looking for one more director fill out our FY2013-14 board. Also, we would love to have some help with Program, I'm in desperate need of some help  I'm not sure if I can really keep up this pace.
