COVID-19 Update

I hope that you and your families are safe and healthy. These are unprecedented times we are living through. Many of us are still working, sometimes even longer hours from home and from job sites, with appropriate social distancing of course. Others have been laid off due to the economic shut down instituted to reduce the spread of the disease. Times like these are when community is so important, especially our CSI community. One of the things I love most about everyone involved in CSI is their willingness to help each other, and these days are no exception. This is the time when those connections we made at the Ugly Sweater Party or Region Conference can come in handy. When you have a question on a tricky detail and don't have the person-in-the-desk-next-to-you to help, reach out to that guy in the cowboy hat from the chapter meeting last September. When you need to call and talk to someone to explore new career opportunities, check out the members list (don't forget to sign in).

We are all in this together, and based on my own experience, we are all here to help one another. Please don't be afraid to reach out to your CSI leadership.
