President's Message
Hello ASPE Chapter 38 members and Friends,
The new year 2023 has begun and already the board of ASPE Chapter 38 has a great slate of events upcoming for the next several months. We kicked off our event schedule on January 17, 2023 with a joint meeting between the Cincinnati chapters of ASPE and AACE. This was a dinner event held at Bloc Coffee Shop in the Incline District neighborhood of Cincinnati, and the topic of discussion was the current state of supply chain and workforce issues facing our industry. The meeting featured a lot of good discussion based on the experiences of our attendees, including several from local material vendors with direct knowledge of many of the issues we talked about. We took time to officially congratulate ASPE Chapter 38 member Sai Mattaparthi on his attainment of CPE status as well. We had a great meeting, enjoyed some fine soul food and fancy coffee drinks, and started the year off on a good footing.
February and March offer some great meetings as well. On February 23, 2023 we will learn all about the latest trends in Div. 28 and Technology design with design consultant Christy Miller of BCL. This meeting will be a dinner event at the Marriott Cincinnati North in West Chester – stay tuned for the event flyer to be distributed in early February. On March 16, 2023, we will return to the west side of town for a presentation on cyber security concerns and solutions with Dave Hatter of InTrust IT. This will also be a dinner meeting, to be held at West Side Brewing in Cincinnati’s Westwood neighborhood.
The ASPE Chapter 38 sponsored student estimating team from Cincinnati State Community and Technical College competed on January 31 at the college estimating tournament at the NAHB annual convention in Las Vegas, NV. Their experiences and stories from that event will be featured at an upcoming event sometime this spring. Chris McCarthy and I attended a practice session with the team and their professor-coach Greg Kelly recently, and we were very impressed with the level of knowledge and talent that these kids are taking with them to the competition!
Stay tuned for more ASPE news by following us on our website, and if you’re not yet a member, what are you waiting for? Membership in ASPE is the best way to develop your estimating skills, to interact more closely with those within your profession, and to become a better, more well rounded estimating professional! Any of our board members will be pleased to tell you how.
Sincerely,
Daniel Frondorf, CPE, CDT
