    Past Chair the local CSI Chapter Certification educational program for "CDT" and Advanced Certifications, including scheduling 13 weekly CDT Exam Prep Classes, hosted at our (DTR) offices for CSI members and non-members.Each year, I enjoy organizing another great group of volunteers, industry leaders to assist in teaching the material to each of our CDT attendees. Attendees are typically Architects, Engineers, Contractors, Facility Engineers and Manufacturing Representatives. Over the last 3 years, we have a success rate of 100% (virtually unheard of…) with a 94% overall pass rate of both professionals & students taking the exam. The Construction Documents Technology (CDT) Program provides a comprehensive overview for anyone who writes, interprets, enforces, or manages construction documents. Project architects, contractors, contract administrators, material suppliers, and manufacturers’ representatives are all realizing the advantages of being Construction Documents Technologists. By being able to understand and interpret written construction documents, CDTs perform their jobs more effectively. By understanding the roles and relationships of all participants, CDTs improve communication among all members of the construction team.I am very humbled by the great students whom worked hard and stayed with the program to pass the CDT certification exam. IT is the great feedback in hearing how much this program has help each of our attendees in their career, that keeps involved in this effort. I look forward to overseeing another year...
