Congratulations to the Recipients of the 2024 CSI Honors and Awards

The CSI Celebrates Awards Ceremony is dedicated to honoring those who make CSI stronger. During the 2024 CSI National Conference, we raised a glass to the remarkable achievements of our members who advance both CSI and the industry.

Join us in congratulating the following recipients: csiresources.org/communities/honorsand awards/awards79335        

Elevate Your Career with a CSI Credential

As an AECO professional, you help transform ideas into reality. But without project delivery know-how, you can be left on the sidelines while other built environment professionals lead the conversation.

By deeply understanding the delivery process and construction documentation, you’re prepared to communicate more effectively with contractors, engineers, product reps, manufacturers, and other design and construction professionals.

You’ll lead the conversation both in the studio and on the job site.

Take the next step in your career and discover why a CSI certification isn’t just an acronym but career advancement. Early registration for the Spring 2025 Certification exam cycle opens on February 12.

Nail the Right Standard Every Time with Crosswalk

Delivering accurate, reliable construction documentation is a challenge. Delivering it quickly is almost impossible.

And when everything from gypsum board selection to estimating affects project quality, revenue, and risk, wouldn’t it be great if getting the standards right wasn’t a tedious bottleneck?

But with Crosswalk, you get accuracy, reliability, 
and speed.

What is Crosswalk?

Crosswalk from CSI that makes standards digitally available right inside the software you use every day.

It allows you to easily search for classifications and translate between MasterFormat (1995 and 2020), UniFormat (I and II), and OmniClass. It’s available for Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Revit, and Procore.

And because CSI powers it, Crosswalk is always up to date with the gold standard of the industry.

Sound too good to be true? Learn more by visiting the Crosswalk website and see how it will revolutionize the AECO industry: crosswalk.squarespace.com              

Invest in the Future of AECO Professionals

Professional development should be accessible to everyone, regardless of background or financial resources.

That’s why the CSI Foundation is committed to providing scholarships to aspiring professionals in the AECO industry, enabling them to attend the CSI National Conference or earn a CSI certification.

Our 2024 CSI Foundation Annual Appeal focused on raising funds for these vital scholarships, which help professionals from underrepresented communities advance their careers. Although that window has closed, the CSI Foundation collects donations year-round. You can still show your support by making a financial gift here: csiresources.org/institute/foundation

If you cannot contribute personally, there are still meaningful ways you can support this important initiative. This year, we’re excited to offer group donation opportunities for CSI chapters, companies, and other associations to 
get involved.

Encourage your chapter and region leaders to organize a group donation. As a thank you, your chapter will be recognized on the CSI website and at upcoming CSI events. This is a great way for your local community to make an impact.

Your company or association can also contribute to our new CSI Foundation Corporate Donor Program. There are three contribution levels available, each offering unique recognition and benefits. Learn more about the program and how to get involved here: csisponsorship.org/corporate-donor-program CS
