Celebration of Fellows and Lifetime Members
Followed by a 'Discussion with Designers & the Project Specifications'
October seems so long ago since our last Dinner. To all the people that attended the Plant Tour last month, thank you for participating and making it a fun and educational event. This January's Dinner Meeting we've got an engaging panel discussion setup, along with celebrating our Lifetime Members and Fellows.
Designer Panel Discussion:
Through a panel discussion format, attendees will gain a greater understanding of how Designers work with the 3-Part Specifications - Specifiers, Project Owners, and Manufacturer Reps to design their projects.
We want members to get engaged. Please submit your questions and we will be selecting from this submittal pool for discussion during the panel discussion portion of the Chapter Dinner Meeting.
