A Brief Update from
Dave Early, CSI, CCCA
Maine Chapter President

 

On Saturday evening, June 14^th the Maine Chapter held its annual Awards Banquet at the Hilton Garden Inn, Auburn Maine.  We were particularly proud to close out our 41^st Year with CSI’s Outstanding Chapter Commendation, the second year in a row the Maine Chapter was selected to receive this award.  The award was presented to us at Construct 2008, in Las Vegas, where the Chapter was represented by Dick Eustis, Bill Charland, and Dave Early.

 

There were 11 awards presented during our awards banquet, including the Certificate of Merit and Appreciation from the Institute to Jeff Larimer, Chapter President 2007 & 2008.   The highlight of the evening was the “Knowlton Award Presentation”.  The purpose of the Knowlton award is to recognize an outstanding contribution to communications within the design and construction industry in Maine.  The award is named after Ralph G. Knowlton, a major contributor to the early development and success of the Maine Chapter.  He was a firm believer in the ability of communications to solve many of the problems that face the industry.  The 2008 recipient of the Ralph Knowlton award was John Gordon, AIA, of Gordon/Stanley Architecture of Bar Harbor.
