Summer 2020 is bringing many exciting changes to the Construction Institute! We are now an independent 501(c)(3) and we have moved into our new office space in East Hartford. Our classes and programs are thriving in the virtual environment. Thanks to the ongoing generous support of you, our members, our first year as an independent entity will be a strong one.

We are proud to have the support and engagement of the Board of Directors who will lead the Construction Institute into its future. They represent a diversity of professions in the industry, and a range of generations and perspectives, as well as a geographic diversity that reflects the Construction Institute's emergence as a national thought leader.
