Hello everyone,
Happy New Year! Well...at least from a CSI "new year" point of view that is. That's right the CSI 2024/2025 fiscal year is upon us. It marks the end of a very successful 2023/2024 for CSINext, and in a bittersweet way it marks the end of my role as Chapter President. So, before the official "passing of the torch" to our new Chapter President, I would like to close out my tenure with this short message to the CSINext Board of Directors and chapter members...
Greetings everyone! It's been a minute or two, and like the title above - CSINext is heading down the home stretch of fiscal year 23/24. As we approach the end of the "CSI Year" and beginning of the summer months it is with great anticipation that we are beginning to plan for CSINext's 24/25 year. More to come on that in the next couple of months...but let's take a look at what has been coming down the stretch with CSINext of late...

February....interesting month February can be. While the month is typically short (although this year is a leap year we get that one extra day), it is typically the longest month of the year around these parts - or at least it feels like it because it can just seems to drag on. But, optimism abounds! We hope the ground hog brings us an early spring, the winter is close to coming to an end, and most of all February is known for having "love in the air". And there are two things I absolutely LOVE about CSINext this time of year....

Hi everyone,
In just a few days 2023 will leave us, and 2024 will be upon us. During the time between Christmas and New Years some of us are taking a much needed break, some are catching up on things and getting ready for the New Year, and some of a little bit of both.
Me, I am in the last category mostly, but one of the things I try to do is note a few of the highlights from the year, both from a professional and personal viewpoint.
Hello everyone, warm Holiday Greetings from the crew here at CSINext!

Let’s face it folks…no matter your role in this this business…. it’s tough. A rewarding business but a tough one. This week has just been one of those weeks – that whatever could go wrong went wrong. At times I felt like I had everything back under control and not ten minutes later I'd feel like the guy on the bottom of a rugby pile. One of those "Why am I doing this to myself" kind of weeks!
