Michael G. Young, CSI, CCCA will be honored as a member of the Class of Fellows at CONSTRUCT 2018 in Long Beach, CA, on Thursday, October 4.
Here are three takeaways about what the honor—and joining CSI—have meant to his life and career. You can register to attend CONSTRUCT 2018 in person here.
#1) Education: “In education, I have found the ‘fountain of youth.’ Being an instructor for the Denver Chapter’s CDT preparatory course and working with students at the community college and university level is not only rewarding, but it’s also just plain fun. The balance between learning new things, exploring different approaches to a problem and teaching/sharing what I have learned (mostly through mistakes) is what keeps my career interesting and enjoyable.”
#2) Certification: "Through certification, I have gained credibility. The relationships I have developed with my fellow members provide me with a huge library of trusted advisors I can call on to make good decisions and provide assistance to my fellow employees. CSI has also provided me the opportunity to grow and stay relevant. As a project manager for the City and County of Denver, I use CSI and the principles taught in the CDT every day."
#3) Diversity: “The strength of CSI is its diversity. The greatest benefit of being a member is getting to know all the resources your fellow project team members offer and what resources you can offer them. Become a ‘trusted advisor,’ and never stop learning your and career will never go stale. Embrace and be part of the CSI experience.”
