Are You Missing In Action?!?!?

The chapter membership committee and the webmaster desperately need some help locating a few of our members. The email addresses posted on the local and national rosters are incorrect and as a result some of you are not receiving critical information about your chapter. If you recognize an error (wrong address, old company, moved from the area) in any of the addresses listed below please contact me at gary@suburbanwi.com with the correct information.

If you see your address listed above please also go to the national website at www.csinet.org and update your contact information. Remember, your membership follows you no matter where you work or live. It does not belong to your company even if they generously paid your membership dues. Be informed. Be included. Be up to date.

Thanks for your help!!

What's a TRAM, you ask? TRAM is an awards program created and adopted by the Milwaukee Chapter CSI. TRAM stands for Tangible Rewards for Active Membership. It is designed to foster CSI involvement by providing a method to award members for their contributions to the chapter and the region. Every time a member, (but not a board member), makes an outstanding contribution to the chapter, a TRAM report should be filled out and placed in the TRAM box. Contributions include, but are not limited to:

Before the June Tour and Awards night, the recipient of an all expense paid trip to the Region Conference, including registration, lodging and transportation, will be selected and the winner will be announced at the Awards Banquet. Let's keep the TRAMs rolling; get started by using the report below! (download report flyer)
