Why join? In my 11 years of membership in CSI and the Baltimore Chapter, I have learned a greater appreciation for the other members of the construction team. I went from the typical architect who thought the construction process was adversarial and there was no way around it. By meeting other construction professionals, discussing the industry with them and becoming friends with many of them, I 've learned an appreciation for their position in the process and what their motivations are in their work. This in invaluable knowledge and these are invaluable relationships for me in how I conduct my business each day.

Each month at our chapter meetings, I have the opportunity to gain important knowledge that makes me better at doing my job. Through panel discussions and presentations by experts in their fields, the Baltimore Chapter offers outstanding learning opportunities each month. Combine that with the outstanding networking over dinner and drinks and attending the monthly meetings is a no-brainer!

So, come join us! Take advantage of a 20% savings off your national dues. When you join on-line, designate the Baltimore Chapter as your home chapter so you'll recieve our newsletter and other announcements. Our dues are comparatively low for chapters in our area. Do this for you and your career. The education and networking opportunites alone are worth far more than our dues.
