The Portland Chapter of CSI Board invites you, our community of Owners, Architects, Engineers, Specification Writers, Contractors, Facility Managers, Manufacturers, and Product Representatives to a Town Hall, March 17th @ 1130am, held on Zoom. The topic of discussion is the Licensing change for Master Format (et al), and the impact this may have on your day-to-day engagement with this organizational tool.
Please register for the event. A link for zoom will be sent out before the meeting.

These changes have the potential to influence how MasterFormat is used across the industry, and we understand that many in our community are processing what this could mean for their work. Your Portland Chapter Board is committed to staying connected with you as this unfolds. We’ll be gathering local feedback to provide coordinated commentary to Institute, with the goal of encouraging clear, targeted, and productive responses.
As always, we appreciate all your efforts as volunteers and participants in our educational events, and we look forward to continuing to provide opportunities for enrichment and networking to all those in our AECO community.
If you cannot attend, but would like to provide feedback, please fill out this brief survey.
