President's Report
Dear CSI Mississippi Members,
Let’s Go!!!!!!!!!
It’s time for one of our chapter’s biggest events, the 2026 Mississippi CSI Product Show, taking place February 25th at the Clyde Muse Center in Pearl.
This show is always a highlight for our design and construction community and to make it a success, I’m asking each of you to help our product show chair, Taylor Stewart, in spreading the word. Share the event with colleagues, clients, product representatives, and anyone in your network who benefits from staying connected to the latest products, materials, and innovations in our industry. Personal invitations go a long way.
As a reminder attendees will need to register at our website www.csimississippi.org/Product_Show. Please help us drive early registrations so we can plan for a smooth event.
We still have booths available, so if you know a manufacturer’s rep or industry partner who would benefit from showcasing their products, encourage them to secure their spot soon. It’s a great opportunity for visibility and relationship building.
Thank you to everyone who has helped on the committee to support the show this year. If anyone is still interested in volunteering, please make sure to reach out to Taylor or a board member.
See you all at the show!
Cassie Parker, CSI, CDT, CCCA
