member database
UPDATE
February
7, 2010
A
few new improvements have been added to the member database
which will add benefits for users. The most noticeable
is the use of color coding to distinguish the three member
categories. A legend at the top of the member list indicates
the member categories. The sort order is Members on top,
followed by Affiliates and Retired (yes, we do have one
retired member). This sort order is also maintained during
various searches and sorts.
Another improvement is the use of live links for URLs that
are included in member profiles. Now there is no need for
users (e.g., potential clients) to type in a URL to reach a
member's web site. One click will do it. If you have one,
check it out to make sure it works.
Not evident is a new feature that sends an email
notification to the treasurer (membership chair) whenever a
member changes the email address in their Profile. This
allows the treasurer to updated the email address contact list for
future notices to members.
Important!
The new database has been in effect for
over one year now.
Members should have updated their own
profiles by now. For those who haven't, be sure to use the email address that
was on file in September 2008 to login.
If you
have a problem, contact the
treasurer.
Access the Member Database under
Quick Links.

Middle
Atlantic REGION scip mEETING
October 8, 2009
A
Specifiers Forum
hosted by SCIP was held at on
October 8, 2009 in
conjunction with the
2009 Middle Atlantic
Region Conference in Charlottesville, VA. In a
departure from previous conferences, the forum
was held prior to the start of the conference
instead of at the end.
The meeting was moderated by David Lorenzini,
Vice President of SCIP. Those in attendance
discussed various topics of interest to
specifiers, including the new CSI Construction
Information Award (EICI), RFIs, project specific
websites, and a recent thread on the CSI
Specifications Discussion Forum regarding
Specifications and Responsibility. the original
question of which was: "Is it a violation of your state
practice act (Architect/Engineer) to have
project specifications prepared by others
outside your office?"
These forums are open to all
specifiers, and they are a good opportunity to
discuss issues that are common to SCIP members
as well as non-members, especially those who
were not able to attend the SCIP Annual Meeting
at the CSI Show/Convention. |
