January Chapter Meeting: 2018 Construction Outlook
Tuesday, January 9, 2018
11:30 AM - 1:30 PM
Kell's Irish Pub, 112 SW Second Avenue, Portland, OR 97204
Cost: $30 Member / $40 Non-Member / $240 Table (8)
The economic environment is complicated by political, global and business uncertainty. Will the economy continue to maintain steady growth, or is expanded growth possible? Should the industry anticipate additional funding for infrastructure, or will there be cuts? What are the implications of the skilled labor shortage? Is single family construction expanding or struggling with fundamental problems of demographics and funding?
What can we expect of apartments, schools, retail, and public works? What is expected nationally and locally? Join Cliff Brewis, Vice President Operations with Dodge Data and Analytics, for a review of the Dodge Construction Outlook. Cliff will provide the Dodge perspective and help you position your business for success.

President's Message: Happy Holidays
Ellen Onstad, CSI, CDT, Board President
The people that know me, know that I struggle every month to write the Presidents article for The Predicator. At one point in my history with CSI I would write up the programs for the newsletter, a summary if you wish, for some reason that was so much easier than this. I have learned thru this process that I do not enjoy writing, and while others are, this is not my strong suit. What I do like is organization, networking and my CSI Friends.
On the young architect podcast Michael Asks what can you do better than others? I've thought about that question recently, what do you do better than others? What do you enjoy? Where is your niche? It seems early, I realize but these things take time, so we are in the process of selected people for the CSI Board of Directors. Is that something that interest you?
As we wrap up 2017 and begin 2018, some people create
new year's resolutions, I have work goals and then we have the symbolic of a new year and the clearing of the old and creating new. I always love the cartoons that suggest the old and tired end of year, and the baby for the new year. This has most definite been a year that feels old and tired, with a fresh new one just around the corner.
Happy holidays Everybody... Buckle up for 2018.... Should be quite a ride ....
