Monthly Meetings
The Central Ohio Chapter of ACI holds monthly meetings from September through May which include a presentation on a topic related to concrete, concrete materials, or concrete construction. Meetings may also cover local construction projects of interest and will often include site visits. Some projects we have visited in the past include The Ohio State Stadium Renovation, The State Street Bridge, The Maumee Bridge, The State House Renovation, and The Columbus Zoo Asia Quest and Polar Bear exhibits.
Meeting topics are picked by the Board of Directors and are chosen based on what would be of most interest to our membership. The board will then bring in a speaker that is considered to be an expert on the subject matter. The board is always looking for ideas on meetings topics or suggestions on speakers. If you have any suggestions, please let us know.
Meetings are open to everyone and are a great venue for socializing with colleagues in the concrete construction industry and are also excellent networking opportunities.
