The mission of CSI is to advance building information management and education of project teams to improve facility performance.
CSI is a national association of specifiers, architects, engineers, contractors, facility managers, product representatives, manufacturers, owners and others who are experts in building construction and the materials used therein.
The Northeast Region CSI is a collection of 15 Chapters located in New England, New York and New Jersey. Our Mission as a Region is to Build Strong Chapters through Communication and Collaboration. We do this by sharing best practices among our chapters throughout the year and hosting annual educational, leadership training and networking events.
Our fifteen individual chapters offer regular monthly events where members can get to know their peers as well as participants in all phases of the construction industry. The sharing of knowledge and experience across disciplines can assist in finding new work, locating resources to get the project done, learning from experts in the field, or just seeing another perspective on common issues. Participating on chapter committees and in chapter administration builds leadership and management skills as well as expanding your personal network. Usually you find you meet great people and make lasting friends along the way.
