“Words from the Chair”
Spring is nearly upon us. I while I am grateful for the snowdrops and the cherry blossoms especially, it kind of took me by sur-
prise. All in a sudden, I find that it is March and that means that I have to start preparing our board for next year as well as wrap
up this year’s.
This is shaping up to be a bit of a different year. For example, you should know that we will be having our Annual General Meet-
ing early this year due to Conference being held during our May meeting. (I can’t believe that I have to choose!)
We will hold our Annual General Meeting on April 16th, just before the monthly presentation. This means that our members
can conveniently participate in both events by attending only one meeting.
The agenda for our AGM is as follows:
♦ Director’s Report
♦ Chairman’s Report
♦ Review of Financials
While we have in past held elections at the AGM, we will be holding elections by ballot this year. This means that we will require
nominations to be completed and submitted to our Secretary, Moira Rowan, by March 30th, 2009. A nomination form is included in
this newsletter or you can email Moira for another copy.
The majority of the officers have agreed to be nominated to serve another one-year term. However, we encourage others to step
up and make next year even better. Self-nomination is both welcome and encouraged. Ballots will be sent out in early April and
your new board will be announced shortly after they are opened and counted by impartial scrutineers.
See you March 19th for what will undoubtedly be an informative presentation and interesting discussion about BIM! Register now

CSC Advertising – Newsletter and Website:
Beginning immediately, the Specifier is going to feature a Classified section.
This will provide you with the opportunity to advertise within the industry in the newsletter and on the CSC Van‐
couver website.
For the cost of:
$125 ‐ Members
$150 ‐ Non Members
You will receive advertising space in an issue of the Specifier and on the CSC website in a, to be created, Classified
section. The ad will be placed in 1 issue of the newsletter and reside on the website for 1 month. The maximum
word count is 75.
Other publications such as ours typically use this space for employment opportunities etc. and this is one type of
advertising we are looking for.
If you are not sure whether the Specifier would be an appropriate tool for you, please email me with your ques‐
tions.
So, if you would like to advertise, or have any questions, please let me know.
All advertising content is subject to pre‐approval by the responsible CSC Committee.
