On September 5, 2018, the Georgia Chapter of RCI hosted its annual event, “A Day at the Park.” The first-place Red Sox were in town to take on the hometown Braves. The Red Sox won 9-8 with a two-run shot in the ninth by Brandon Phillips.
Sixty-nine roofing and waterproofing consultants, manufacturers’ representatives, and contractors showed up for the event. Georgia RCI would like to thank their sponsors: USG, SOPREMA, Versico, Sarnafil, Carlisle, Southern Wall, and Tecta America. Without the support of our sponsors, these events would not be possible. This event and others like it make possible the Georgia Chapter support of the RCI Foundation, RCI Georgia scholarships, and other causes of note. The Georgia Chapter hosted the event in the “Below the Chophouse” suite at Suntrust field. The suite is located at field level in right field. All that separates you from the warning track is a chain link fence. New products were introduced, new sponsors met, networking done, and attendees got to watch the Braves at field level. Food and drinks were provided, and a good time was had by all.

Instructors will cover fundamentals of quality assurance, component assembly, and quality practice guidelines for a variety of roofing systems, including the role of the roof observer, construction contract documents, daily reports, low-slope and steep-slope roofing, ethics, and codes. This course provides useful information for individuals preparing for the RRO registration. Attendees will receive 8 CEHs from RCI/LUs from AIA.

The So Cal Chapter of RCI, Inc. hosted its annual Membership Drive & Summer Social on July 18th at Laguna Beach Beer Company in Laguna Niguel, CA.
The venue was located between the scenic hills of Laguna Beach, where approximately 39 attendees got to enjoy some much-needed tranquility from the usual work week hustle and bustle. Attendees sampled delicious food and refreshments, which included some noteworthy artisan flatbreads and craft beverages.

The So Cal Chapter of RCI, Inc. successfully hosted its third technical dinner meeting of the year on August 28, 2018, at JT Schmid’s Restaurant & Brewery in Tustin, CA.
Approximately 40 attendees made it out to JT Schmid’s at the District at Tustin Legacy to enjoy some great networking along with refreshing beverages and some delicious dinner plates.
