PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE MEET ONE OF OUR NEWEST MEMBERS!
I
want to thank all of you for your continued support of our chapter. While we had to return to all-virtual events and programs in January due to the rise in COVID-19 cases, we’re looking forward to moving back to in-person events. Our committees have been hard at work to continue to provide valuable and educational webinars and programs for you, please check our website’s events page to register for our upcoming Chapter events including the Annual Ski Trip on February 18th, sponsored by VVA Project & Cost Managers and Bala Consulting Engineers. I hope you will join us at our Annual Meeting on March 23rd from 5:30PM - 7:30PM at The Foundation to celebrate our Chapter’s Accomplishments in 2021, review important initiatives for 2022 and network with your fellow members. Please also save the date for our Awards of Excellence on May 5th at the Westin Boston Seaport District. Thank you again, and I look forward to seeing you all soon.
