Session planned to explain tighter water runoff plans
Did you know that state officials are requiring developers, contractors and property owners doing extensive remodels to have someone qualified on site during rain storms to monitor runoff?
That is just one of the new regulations that the state Water Resources Control Board is putting into place this year (effective July 1) and next as they tighten storm water pollution prevention plans, said Bruce Poulsen of Darden Architects.
Contractors and others can learn more about the new legislation at a workshop scheduled from 2-4 p.m July 15 in Visalia. Cost: $100 for USGBC CC members and $125 for non-members. Space is limited, so sign up at info@usgbccc.org.
Location information and registration details will follow shortly. This is one workshop you won't want to miss, so put it on your planners now.

The New CSI National Website | www.csinet.org!
CSI Members
You Are Invited
By Walter T. Marlowe, P.E., CSI, CAE, Executive Director/CEO
to visit CSI's new website at www.csinet.org!
The new www.csinet.org is built with our most important audience in mind - you. We know the needs of our 13,000 members vary, so we've found ways to help you detail CSINet to fit your interests.
We also know that our website is a tool for our members, so we focused on building a resource you can use today. Here's some of what you can do at www.csinet.org right now:
Connect With CSI - CSI is a network of experienced professionals who come together to share building solutions. That is the core of our organization, and that's why you can go to CSINet and:
• Find a chapter
• Find a CSI Certified Professional
• Find a qualified speaker
• Join a web-based practice group
Stay Informed - CSI members are passionate about specifying, building information and real-world product solutions - and it shows in their conversations. They also love to discuss real-world dilemmas and to answer questions. That's why the new website:
• Still links you to CSI's popular forums, where CSI's expert members answer questions
• Includes RSS feeds and other social media sharing options
• Has a "My CSI" page where you can flag the topics that interest you, and receive notices when new information related to those topics is posted
• Has links to help you subscribe to and follow CSI's blog and e-newsletters, CSI Weekly and CSI NewsBrief
Get Involved - Whether at the chapter, regional, or national level, CSI offers you the chance to share what you know and to learn from others, so that you can do your job faster, less expensively, and with higher quality. That's why you can go to www.csinet.org:
• Log in to your "My CSI" page and update your profile - make sure you're getting all the CSI news that is being sent to CSI members
• Join CSI's Speaker Directory
We built www.csinet.org on a flexible platform that will allow us to continue adding new features and tools to communicate more effectively with our members and the construction community. Some of those features will come online during the next few months - so make sure your profile is up to date, you've set up your "My CSI" page, and you're getting CSI's e-newsletters! You don't want to miss a tool that will make your life easier!
These highlighted features are just the beginning. Every member will find a different reason to visit. Find out what yours will be. See for yourself by visiting the new CSI Web site right now at www.csinet.org.
Who’s who behind the new csinet.org?
The project was a very collaborative member and staff effort.
The project was led by Joy Davis in her role as CSI Communications and Web Community Manager. Joy took the lead in identifying the information and community needs of the members and staff, and communicated our vision to the web consultants. Joy is the driving force behind this successful launch.
CSI members also influenced the development of the new CSINet, directly by testing services and answering questions, and indirectly, by reporting what works and what doesn't in their day-to-day CSI volunteer life. CSI is especially grateful to:
- Randall Lewis, CSI, AIA
- Sheldon Wolfe, RA, FCSI, CCS, CCCA
- William Pegues, FCSI, CCS
- Jori Smith, CSI, CDT
- Brent Williams, CSI, CDT
- Daniel Hargreaves, CSI, CDT
- David Bishton, CSI, CCS
Christine Tanner coordinated the look and feel, the graphics, and interaction with the Construction Specifier web site.
Eric Kestler provided the key technical support and coordinated the interaction of data between the main membership database and the website. Sandy Childs also coordinates our membership database and provided key information into integrating database info into the new site.
Themica McBee and Jordan Chatman are CSI’s Member Services representatives. They provided key feedback on the common information requests, key problem points, and generally useful information that members typically contact them about.
Each of our department directors or managers were responsible for updating the content in their sections and for ensuring that we are communicating a clear message:
- Roger Grant, Greg Ceton, and Rob Holson on Standards & Formats
- Sara Meyers & Susan Konohia on GreenFormat
- Erica Cox and Josh Spiler on Education
- Karen Koenig and Miles Truax on Certification
- Stacy Vail on the Convention and Governance
- Jennifer Zimmermann and Brannan Meyers on Membership and Chapter Tools

2010 Jury of Fellows
2010 Jury of Fellows
- 6 CSIs, + 6 FCSIs
Six CSI members were recently selected to Fellowship by the 2010 Jury of Fellows. The investitures will be held at the Gala, part of the CONSTRUCT2010 Show and the CSI Annual Convention in Philadelphia on Friday, May 14.
The actual citation for each Fellow-elect will be kept confidential until the ceremony. CSI Secretary Sheryl Dodd-Hansen, FCSI, CCS, CCCA, had the duty to inform all participants.
Below are the initial reactions from this year’s class of 6 new Fellows:
Loren Berry AIA, CSI, CDT - “Loren, Sheryl Dodd Hansen is on line two” …I knew right away what the call was probably about; I just didn’t know whether it was to tell me that I would need to try again another year or that it would be good news. Sheryl’s voice was happy and upbeat; you know the way she usually sounds. “Hello Loren”…I knew then that it was good news.
My mother had passed away on January 3rd and my submittal was not in to the Jury yet at that time; I didn’t really think much about Fellowship for several days, but decided I would get the final editing done and complete the process for my mom. ‘Thanks for your help mom’, I thought, as Sheryl gave me the good news. “
Loren is Principal in the firm Berry Architects, PC, located in Eugene, Oregon. In FY 08-09, he was appointed to serve out a vacancy as NW Region Director. He will also serve a full (2-years) term as Director, beginning in July. Loren was nominated by the Willamette Valley (Eugene) Chapter CSI, and his submission was chaired by Paul Edlund, FCSI, Distinguished Member.
Kevin D. Corkern RA, CSI, CCS, CCCA, LEED_AP, NCARB – “When Sheryl Dodd-Hansen called me she started the conversation with ‘I am calling about your Fellowship Nomination’ I was worried that I had not been selected, but when she told me I would be elevated to Fellow, I was excited and honored.
I went to talk to my business partner Tom Parshall. This has been a tough business year and we had been discussing whether or not we would be able to budget for the Institute Convention this year. I told him, ‘The decision has been made; I’m going to Philadelphia this year where I’ll be elevated to Fellowship’. We’re hoping he’ll be able to attend too.”
Kevin is partner in TLP Architects, LLC, in Nashville, Tennessee and a former Gulf States Region Director (FY06-08). He is an incoming member of the CSI Finance Committee. His nomination is by the Nashville Chapter and his submission was chaired by Troy A. Williams, CSI, CDT.
John “Grif” A. Griffith, CSI – “I was totally humbled that I had been elevated to Fellowship. This is a great honor. I became involved with CSI because I wanted to see my wife at least once a month at the chapter meetings. Seriously, I wanted to help the construction industry in any way possible because it has given me so many rewards. I never expected to get this involved with CSI when I first joined in 1983.”
John is married to Alana Griffith, FCSI and former CSI President. He is currently a Director representing the NC Region CSI. He has been in the glass and glazing industry as long as he can remember. Since joining CSI, Empirehouse, Inc - Glazing Specialty Contractor, the family business has grown by leaps and bounds and he contributes this success to having the opportunity to work every day with his wife, sister, 2 nephews, niece, and son. “We are looking toward the future of glass in construction and the next generation of CSI.” His nomination was by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Chapter (NC Region) CSI’ and his submission was chaired by Paula Nyquist, CSI, CDT.
José A. Guaty, CSI, CDT – “Like many before me, I received the dreadful phone call in 2009 informing me I had not made the cut, but was encouraged by the chair of the Jury of Fellows to resubmit again in 2010.
When Sheryl called me, I was so nervous it felt like those days back in high school waiting for those final exam test scores. I was delighted to hear those words “Congratulations you made it”; I rambled on and on to Sheryl for twenty minutes, nerves chatter I guess. I’m humbled by this honor. ”
Jose is the owner of a small Specialty Construction firm in South Florida that specializes in flexible space division and sound control products. He emigrated from Cuba when he was 7 years old. He attended schools and worked in many jobs starting in the airline-hospitality industry. This introduced him to the construction industry where he learned about proper documentations, and good communication. So inspired by his bosses and mentors, he has dedicated his career to enhancing the construction process by maximizing the efficiency of the construction team through proper use of construction documents and documentation.
José served as Director representing the SE Region CSI in FY 07-09. He was nominated by the Ft. Lauderdale Chapter (SE Region) CSI and his submittal was chaired by Abbas Zackria, CSI, CDT.
Bob Mosblech, CTC, CSI – (Editor’s note: we regret not being able to reach Bob Mosblech. Attempts were made to reach Bob before the printing deadline.)
Bob was nominated by the San Francisco Chapter (W Region) CSI and his submittal was chaired by James O’Keefe.
Gerard Reed, CSI, CCPR – “When I was notified that I had been selected by the Jury of Fellows I was very gratified that they had recognized and appreciated my efforts on the behalf of CSI. I thought of my mentors who are already Fellows and was proud to be considered among them. Then I thought of the many dedicated members throughout CSI that may not have the title Fellow, but make CSI what it is. Thank you.”
Jerry is an Independent Manufacturers’ Representative in Michigan promoting Division 4 and 7 products in the Great Lakes area. The Detroit Chapter (GL Region) CSI nominated him and his submittal was chaired by Gerald Marquette.
The 2010 Jury of Fellows consists of 3 Fellows and 3 non-Fellows. They are, with their (region representation):
Richard C. Robinson – Chairman, FCSI, CCS, CCCA, AIA (SC) Catherine D. Guglielmoni, CSI, CCCA (W)

CSI Fresno CDT Certification Course Recap
Last evening we wrapped up the CDT Certification Class. We are confident in a very strong pass rate. The webinar-format was absolutely the best way to go about delivering the information in the most relevant, efficient manner. I suggest any future test takers engage in a similar method of study. After finishing strong on the quizzes at the end of the seminars (100% correct!) we reviewed the study guide and individually did the sample questions to get individual baselines. The students then have the next several days to brush up on those areas and review, and everyone is scheduled for a Saturday exam.
We so appreciate the gracious Certificate Holders who have supported the study process along the way and have generously given of their time to provide professional expertise to the group. Bruce Poulsen CDT, CCS; Mark Harold, CDT, CCS, CCCA; Stuart, CDT; Mary-Alice, CDT; Dave Willis, CDT; Jack Hankes, CDT; thank you! We also appreciate those who arrived in various stages of the seminar series to interject energy when we were starting to get tired. Mark, thank you for your document contributions to our resources. Bruce, similar thanks for bringing us the AIA 201 Commentary, also now posted on the Study Group Website. What would we have done without Elias and weekly pizza!? I, for one, am so grateful for the sustenance he provided.
Thank you CSI Fresno for your enthusiastic support of the CSI Fresno CDT Certification Class and we will definitely add to our Certificated ranks this year!
There are a few who discovered how possible it is for them to pass the CDT exam and may register for the Fall exam close to West Region 2010 week. While I will not be conducting another two-month weekly group certification class, I will keep the CSI CDT Study Group website active with the slides and resources to download. http://www.csifresno.org/certification
