Christmas Paraty Lots of Fun for All!

Posted: Thu, Dec 12 2024

The 2024 Christmas Party was held at the corporate offices of Advantage Solutions hosted by President Brent Williams. Brent had just returned from Martial Law in Korea, which had NOT been on his bucket list. The office was beautifully decorated to kick off the Holiday Spirit. Members and their guests gathered in holiday attire for fun, fellowship, food (and beverages). Each brought a gift to be donated to Toys for Tots which we gathered under the Christmas Tree. Suzan led us in the Left / Right Penguin Christmas story where we were totally confused and ended up with a White Elephant gift that we never knew we needed. Great treats from Euphoric Cheese & Magpie's Bakery. Tasty meatballs & barbecue wieners. Hot chocolate bar with peppermint sticks. YUM!! Thanks to our Fun Chair, Lauretta, who makes every event LOTS of FUN! Merry Christmas!

2024 Awards Gala & 2025 Leadership Installation

Posted: Sat, Aug 17 2024

The Knoxville chapter members and their guests met at the Foundry for food, fellowship, fun and recognition. We were blessed to have William Sundquist, FCSI, Institute Chair of the Board, attend and install our new leadership team. Following the installation ceremony, we celebrated all the great work that the chapter has done this past year and the people who made it happen. Lots of awards!! This was our final event at the Foundry, which is being repurposed as a Children's Theater. We will miss the great space, the great food and the fabulous service that we have always enjoyed. But a great time was had by all and we appreciate all our volunteers that worked so hard to make this an Outstanding Chapter!

Chattanooga Awards & New CSI Chair Celebration

Posted: Thu, Jun 20 2024

The Knoxville Chapter was invited to join the Chattanooga CSI Chapter as they celebrated the 2023-24 accomplishments in the Chattanooga Chapter and the ascension of William Sunquist to Chair of the Construction Specifications Institute. William had served the Knoxville Chapter as President during 2008-2009, so we were happy to join the celebration. Nine Knoxville representatives were able to head to Chattanooga and enjoyed an evening with our Chattanooga colleagues at the Five Wits Brewing Company, as Kenny Tyler, Chattanooga President, led the awards ceremony. Our own Gary Bergeron received a Technical Award for his excellent technical articles published in the ChattaData.
