..... What's in it for you?

A History of Local Service
For years, ACI Chapters have been meeting the concrete information needs of
local concrete practitioners.  From only one chapter in 1959 to total of 89 in 28
countries worldwide today, Chapters continue to bridge the technology gap
between the local concrete construction market and ACI International.  ACI
Chapters offer unique opportunities to learn more about your industry.

Networking
Many Chapter members say that the most important benefit realized from
membership in a loca ACI Chapter is the opportunity to rub shoulders with leading-
edge practitioners in their own market area.  From engineers to product suppliers,
almost every discipline in concrete construction can be seen at a Chapter
meeting
or event.  Chapters often host events that allow you to meet world-renown experts
in design, construction, materials, and standards development.  

And things are not always strictly business!  Many Chapters hold social events
including golf outings, picnics, and
seasonal parties.  Chapters also sponsor
construction awards competitions in their local markets.

Education
All ACI Chapters are eligible to conduct educational seminars - either on their own
or in conjunction with ACI International.  Need to know more about the latest
admixtures for concrete or how to properly construct a slab-on-grade?  Your local
chapter can present a seminar that holds the answers.  Local Chapter members
can often attend at a reduced registration fee.  Join a Chapter and lend your
expertise to the group.

Certification
What about Certification training and examinations?  Have you acquired expertise
that you can share through a training session?  Numerous chapters are
authorized to conduct the various certification programs offered through ACI and
can use your assistance.  In fact, certification activities significantly affect the
viability of some Chapters, allowing them to positively impact their market area by
sponsoring students and many other worthwhile activities.

Information
Chapters receive all current ACI technical and educational documents to
supplement their libraries.  This valuable resource is available to Chapter
members at no charge.  Need to look at a copy of the latest ACI Building Code?  It’
s there and available to you!  And don’t forget that seasoned speakers are often
featured at Chapter meetings.  This can be a valuable source of new information
on a wide variety of technical and practical topics.  Field trips give access to some
of the areas most interesting construction projects.

Recognition
Your peers in concrete construction are probably already members of one or
more ACI Chapter.  Join them and be recognized as someone committed to
improving concrete construction in your area by joining a local Chapter.  Help with
training and education programs, awards dinners, certification exams, and social
events.  Your new friends will thank you and your career will benefit greatly.  Get
to know the people that keep concrete construction moving ahead, and be
recognized for your efforts
