The Sanders Clan’s commitment to CSI

Why did you feel the need to follow the path that you did?

Jerry
Participation in a non-partisan construction organization provided an opportunity for my staff and other state employees to mix effortlessly with established participants in the construction industry. Arkansas’ State Architect, functioning as chair of LRCSI’s Telephone Committee, and regularly participating in the chapter’s educational, technical, and fundraising activities quickly confirmed the open door policy of the government agency.

CSI members are dynamic, personable, and helpful—always endeavoring to provide support for and to their peers. When one has the opportunity to walk with the best in their industry it creates a desire to ‘pay it forward.’ I simply followed a pathway that had been tread many times by my mentors, in hopes something I could do would make a difference in someone’s project, career, or life.

Choosing to carve out a career in the construction industry, CSI offered me an easy way to continue my education. I have thoroughly enjoyed my professional journey with my peers in the construction industry.

Michael
My love for learning, and for teaching, was a natural match for becoming immersed in CSI’s educational programs. While I grew, so did CSI’s need for instructors. With a lot of fear, I accepted that first LRCSI assignment to teach one class. For years thereafter, from one class to an entire course of study, my greatest joy is to hear that the students have had success. If they fail, I cannot help but go back to review where I can improve to not let them down next time.

  1. Great write up on a really great Sanders Family.
    Message is clear and the value of CSI must be communicated to Institute, Region, Chapter and prospective new members.

  2. Great story and an awesome example of a family passing down it’s values to next generation. And in this case CSI values. James is right we need to share this story as a great example of what several generations of members have seen as the value of CSI.
