Happy New Year!  We finished 2007 with a significant achievement, being named Chapter of the Year by CMAA National.  This achievement is a result of strategic planning and hard work by your board, committee members and general members who gave ideas, time and money to support this organization.  Congratulations to us all. 

Changing Attitudes: Encouraging Integrated Project Delivery
For those of us who love creating buildings, the current adversarial state of project team relationships can be discouraging.  Architects, general contractors (GCs), construction managers (CMs) and owners need to work together to share project information, risks and rewards.


Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) Public Policy Update
On August 13, 2007 over thirty (30) construction professionals participated in an all day Integrated Project Delivery Public Policy Meeting at Los Angeles Valley College.

Best Wishes to all of our membership for a prosperous New Year on behalf of the Membership Committee.  The 2008 year promises to be another stellar year for our chapter’s membership growth and planned activities. 

Honor Above All - Building a Solid Core Value System for Your Project Team
Ethical business practices receive a great deal of attention in our industry, but it is all too-often with little more than empty promises.  Creating a clear "Honor Above All" work ethic requires digging way beyond the obvious, and includes the "Seven Inadvertent Oversights" to establishing and delivering on a "high ethic" core value throughout your organization and project team. 

2007 Legislation in Review – 2008 Look Ahead
The current goal and mission of the legislative committee for the chapter is to monitor and advise membership regarding legislation which will affect the construction industry in its use of professional program and project management.

Student Speaker’s Bureau - The Student Outreach Committee is pleased to report a new service for our members and our constituents within our local area colleges.
