Alan Mitchell Horne Sr.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What does being a member of the 2020 Class of Fellows honorees mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is a great honor that has been a goal of mine for almost 40 years.<\/p>\n

Fellowship acknowledges contributions to the advancement of construction technology. Of all your contributions to CSI, which of them are most significant to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My seven years on the Institute Certification Committee where I helped improve the quality of the exams for future candidates.<\/p>\n

What was your first job in the construction industry?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A summer laborer for a construction company while in high school.<\/p>\n

What has been your favorite aspect of making your career in this field?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Combining several of my favorite things\u2014math and art, plus technical writing.<\/p>\n

How has being a member of CSI influenced your life and career?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fellowship with other design and construction professionals has been extraordinary.<\/p>\n

Is there anyone you would like to recognize for supporting the work you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would like to thank several mentors in CSI, including Jentzen Bull, CSI, Marvin Martin, FCSI, T.J. Gottwalt, FCSI, and Norb Steeber, FCSI.<\/p>\n

What advice would you give to newer CSI members just entering this industry, or that you wish a colleague had given you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Make friends with everyone you meet in CSI. They are the cream of the crop and will be invaluable down the road.<\/p>\n

What do you think will be the most significant changes, or opportunities, in the construction industry in the next five to 10 years?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Additional steps in technology to make design and construction easier and better coordinated.<\/p>\n

Any additional thoughts on how being a member of the CSI community has helped weather the current pandemic and how you and your colleagues continue to support each other?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think in the current situation, with many design professionals working from home, it would not be possible to meet out work targets without CSI MasterFormat<\/em>.<\/p>\n
