April CEU In Houston, April showers brought the much anticipated Kimball CEU! On April 19, IIDA members and guests were gathered for a fun-filled, educational event. The evening started with an hour of networking and professional mingling, followed by a very informative presentation by Georgy Olivieri, Kimball Director of Architecture & Design Strategies: BIFMA e3 Sustainability Standard and Level Certification CEU . During the CEU, Georgy shared a passionate summary of the e3 sustainability stand and also spoke of the third party Level Certification Program. We were all thrilled to have this HSW & GBCI CMP course to add to our CEU repertoire. The event was hosted by TX/OK chapter Silver Legacy Partners Kimball Office (Libby Stanton) and Elite Partner JCS. Thank you for hosting and under writing such an enjoyable evening of networking, delicious snacks and information sharing.
