President's Message

Greetings Chapter Members:

Our May speaker, 'David Laudadio with Terrazzo & Marble Supply Company will be presenting a 1-hour AIA H/S/W credit program entitled “The Renaissance of Terrazzo”.  We had this particular presentation as a lunch & learn session last year at MCA and it gives the history of terrazzo, a primer on the different types and installation methods of terrazzo, and several recent examples of terrazzo.  It was a great intro into a material that is making a comeback with thin epoxy terrazzo versus the old cementitious terrazzo used years ago.  We recently had a major client change to terrazzo for their headquarters project after visiting the aquarium in Charleston and seeing the terrazzo flooring there.

SpecFair on May 31st is almost sold out with 51 of the 59 booths confirmed sold and another 3 verbally committed with three weeks left to go.  There are only 5 booths left unsold at this point, so if you know of a prospective exhibitor, please let me know.  The lineup of exhibitors is impressive and promises to be the best construction products show in Greenville in many years.  We need a high turnout of design professional attendees to ensure success so we can do this again next year with even more exhibitors.

We still have no word from CSI National on the outcome of the CSI certification exams given in Greenville on March 31.  The results should be in before the end of the month.

Upcoming events include the CSI National Convention in Baltimore, MD June 20-22 and the Mid-Atlantic & Southeast Bi-Region Conference in Charlotte, NC on September 27-30.  

See you at the next chapter meeting on Thursday, May 17th.
