C. Derrick Crews CSI,CDT
Wow, what a long hot summer it has been here in the city we call the “crossroads of the south”. Of course, we could be in
worse shape from an oppressive heat and biblical drought standpoint (Texas). My guess would be the landscaping, auto body shop, and roofing business over there is down considerably due to the lack of rain. Not to mention these lakes and river beds have been condensed to mud holes. Thank God for the few afternoon rains we have received over the last couple months in the Jackson area!
The first of September is certainly one of my favorite times of the year for a number of reasons. The first reason is yep…… you guessed it, football. Other reasons include the long Labor Day holiday weekend, the hummingbirds out in full force, we’re a month away from the annual state fair (the unofficial end of summer), and did I say football? September is also the time we start reflecting on the prior eight months and begin to set goals and make plans for the coming year. In sales, sometimes the paperwork can be over whelming, however I am a firm believer of putting a plan on paper and reviewing the plan periodically to ensure that I am staying the course. With the economy stagnant and no
sign of a recovery in the near future, we must all work harder and smarter to maintain our business.
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all those who helped plan and made the trip up to Nashville for the CSI Leadership Conference. I believe everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly. A special thanks to Jim & Linda Vinson for the outstanding hospitality services throughout the trip. I think we may have a new Mr. Hospitality (hand over the shirt Jeremy). Also, thanks to Randall Lewis for getting everyone’s allotted travel reimbursements back in a very timely fashion. The Nashville Chapter did an outstanding job hosting the conference, so now the torch has officially been passed to the MS Chapter and plans are in full progress for the much anticipated April CSI Gulf States Region Conference 2012 at the Hilton on County Line Rd. I hope to see everyone at our next luncheon Wednesday Sept 7th at Trustmark Park.

Annual Mississippi CSI Membership Drive
This annual event is geared to raise awareness of CSI and demonstrate to others the value of being a member. The meeting will be in our usual location at Trustmark Park but will be an evening meeting to allow more time to socialize and discuss the benefits of CSI membership. Be looking for more information in the October Speculator. The membership drive goes on the entire month of October but we kick it off with this meeting. Plan to come and maybe you too will learn of CSI benefits you didn’t even know you had from Institute member forums to our own Spec Heads Group. Please bring a guest to the meeting as this is how most folks discover and are introduced to our great organization.
April 20-21, 2012
Gulf States Region Conference
Hosted by the Mississippi Chapter, this is our chance to show off our State. Education events, the awards ceremony, and a fabulous spouse tour are planned in conjunction with this conference. Contact Keith West, Conference Chairman, to see what you can do to help prepare for our turn to host a GSR event.

The evolution of Uniflex dates back over one hundred years to 1906. With that vast experience and time-tested products, building owners and personnel responsible for their facilities roofing maintenance can be assured that their roofs will remain weather tight. Uniflex products carry both FM and UL, Class A approvals.
In addition, Uniflex was one of the first in their industry to receive ISO 9001 registration demonstrating the ability to serve its customers domestically and internationally and offering a business relationship that is committed to the highest levels of quality. Further, Uniflex products are fully warranted minimizing roof maintenance costs over ten years, providing high UV reflectivity reducing under-the-roof temperatures and air cooling costs as well as lowering roof surface temperatures. These lower temperatures greatly reduce roof expansion and contraction thereby minimizing stress.
As such, Uniflex coa t ing sy s t ems conform to Energy Star requirements. Energy Star, which was developed and is maintained by the U.S. E n v i r o n m e n t a l Protection Agency and U. S. Department of Energy, recognizes roofing products that
have relatively high solar reflectance which are said to reduce building cooling loads and costs. Uniflex roofing systems remain flexible to -20 degrees F and add no significant weight load to the roof.
Green is More than Just a Color
Uniflex is committed to the environment and to you. At Uniflex, we believe that paying attention to the Earth's needs doesn't mean ignoring yours. We are proud to bring you coating systems that are UL and FM approved, meet Energy Star Partner criteria, and are also recognized by the Cool Roof Rating Council for their high UV reflectance value, which can minimize energy costs. At Uniflex, we strive every day to develop products that not only meet environmental requirements, but also help the impact your business will have on the environment. And with all of our products, we aim to exceed your standards for aesthetics, durability and productivity.
As part of the Sherwin-Williams family of products, millions of dollars are invested annually in the research and development of the most advanced coatings. And each year, new technologies and best-practice techniques in our manufacturing process are initiated to reduce waste. To conserve natural resources and improve delivery, we've strategically located our facilities throughout the U.S. and streamlined our distribution system.

Trustmark Park is not hard to find so come join us for some good programs, good camaraderie, and some good food. There’s easy access from either Highway 80 or Interstate 20. The park is between Childre Road and Bass Pro Drive in Pearl, MS., near the junction of I-55 and I-20 and it’s easy to spot the Bass Pro Shop landmark right off the interstate. The restaurant is on the southeast side of the park.

Construct is the only dedicated national event specifically designed to provide the commercial building team real-world, practical product and education solutions.
If you have never attended a construction trade show then this is one not to be missed. The exhibits are spectacular and the seminars unsurpassed. Of course, having it at McCormick Place in Chicago is a great location. In addition to technical seminars, exhibits, field trips, just being in Chicago is an experience you should not miss since this is home to some of the countries best architecture.

Randall Lewis will be awarded an Outstanding Contribution Award. This award is presented to a CSI member, Chapter, Region or Group that has made notable contributions to the goals of the Institute.
