Message From Your U.S. North-Central
Regional Director
Our industry, from installation techniques and best
practices to the availability of new technologies lever-
aged through-out the ICT industry, continues to
expand and consume traditional, independent
building technologies into network enabled,
integrated building solutions.
Looking back, not many of us grew up focused upon the ICT career path.
Rather, we found ourselves needed and years later, leading projects or design
teams to ensure customer needs and operational technologies converged.
Through our BICSI membership and certifications we have developed, defined,
and implemented installation and design best practices utilized throughout the
world. Celebrating 50 years this Winter conference (in-person and online),
we are Leading the Future for the Connected World.
I encourage everyone to consider what you can personally do to educate,
encourage, and participate in communicating the opportunities within
our industry to colleges, career centers, those separating from the military,
or considering career changes.
Through this leadership, we can change lives and ensure development
of ICT- focused professionals to meet the challenges of the future. On
23 February 2023 a Virtual ICT (vICT) Forum providing CECs is available,
with presentations by EXFO and Leviton. Please visit the BICSI website
to complete your registration or pursue further information.
Thank you,
Dennis Severance, RCDD
