Looking forward to talking about how Fiduciary Duty will alter the landscape of interaction between manufactuers/suppliers into the AEC industry in the residential, DIY, and commercial sectors. A little taste below. Happy to hear comments and criticisms.

Can't stop thinking about today's devastating fire at Notre Dame. Restoration was underway here and at C.R. Mackintosh's Glasgow School of Art when that landmark was destroyed. Could these have been prevented? Will this lead to an overhaul of const site fire prevention standards?

Congratulations R. A. Kennedy & Sons for achieving NACC Program certification. theagi.org/glass-contract… Six Philadelphia area glazing contractors are now NACC certified. Thank you for making the effort to simplify qualifications specifications.

Congratulations to R.A. Kennedy & Sons... class organization.

Congratulations Jori Smith on election to CSI secretary.

Congrats George, particularly on receiving it in your hometown. MARC awards gala is tonight.

Honored to be speaking this morning abot benefits of CSI certification at BE Prep Conference 2019 Temple University CSI

Things to consider for CSI #CDT renewal: most recognized #CSI certification, no longer prerequisite to advanced certifications, demonstrates value to industry, set example for AEC students #beprep Temple University

Microcertifications such as CSI's #CDT: think of them like boy scout merit badges. #BEprep Tyler Architecture

Certification Badges: Future of educational credentials. Verifiable. Add value. #BEprep Tyler Architecture

Microcertifications can offer quicker and more cost-effective path to career advancement than advanced degrees. #BEprep Tyler Architecture

Yes; Tweeting from Built Environment Prep Conference regarding NSF grant to implement CDT in Comm Colleges. In the relm of education CSI certs are indeed micro but expedient, economical & highly valuable. Conf is providing a glimpse at future of certification.

Soon CSI will be debuting electronic "badges" for email signatures which when clicked will tell when certification was earned, continuing education earned... greater value & transparency.

Micro reference is in broad context of professional education. Not saying "micro" will be used. Conference attendees were mostly educators.

No, but admittedly this is new territory for most CSI members. In the end CSI is working to add value to your certifications.

That's the point; indeed, they are valuable, but they are not Masters degrees. Big difference - compartitively low investment of time & money, but big reward. In context of education, certifications are cutting into college/university bottom lines.

One could view listing earned credentials after one's name the same as scouts displaying merit badges. They both say, "look what I know." But, except for PhD, we don't list our degrees much less all the courses we took to earn them.

Indeed; one presenter cited two individuals who weren't "college material" that earned their CDT and went on to land jobs paying 95k and 126k. Sorry if my Tweets were confusing, but this is new ground & audience is mostly educators that want to incorporate CDT in CC AEC programs.
