CSI volunteers have a remarkable role in helping our organization make an impact in the AECO industry. Whether at the local, regional, or national level, volunteers are catalysts for ensuring we have meaningful networks and tools to deliver better projects.
April is National Volunteer Month, and we want to thank everyone who gives their time and energy to make CSI stronger!
There can be a lot of reasons someone chooses to become a CSI volunteer, so we asked a few to share why they give their time to CSI.

Matt Gregory, CSI, CCS®, CDT®
Architect, Planner, Specifier
Matt’s role as the CSI Puget Sound Chapter Membership Chair highlights the value of community building and member engagement in volunteerism. It reflects a commitment to fostering connection and ensuring members feel welcomed and involved—core elements that strengthen any professional community.
"Volunteering gives you the opportunity to learn how to do new things and acquaints you with people of similar interests. The end result is a feel-good sensation, knowing that you helped someone and were able to give back. Life is more than one's ambition and career, it is sharing one's talents or time with others for the benefit of the community."
