CSI defines Emerging Professionals as those who have entered the design and construction industry in the past 5 years, and who are interested in career advancement though networking, continuing education, and leadership. Unlike many organizations that focus on one profession or one issue, CSI brings together designers, specifiers, contractors, owners, product reps and others, exposing members to many disciplines and career paths.
