Monthly Dinner Meetings 

Every month, between September and May, members of the local section host a dinner meeting to get together and share their experiences and expertise in applying project controls in diverse industries domestically and internationally.  

A new speaker each month makes a presentation on a topic of interest to the membership, covering everything from AACE-International's recommended practices for project controls to in-depth, hands-on discussions of local projects.

Everyone is welcome to attend; to share and learn from each other, and to just have a good time relaxing with colleagues.
