Join Julie Shaffer, CPSM, a 20-year A/E/C marketer and Adobe Certified Expert in InDesign (she’s one of only four in Texas!) for an in-depth InDesign Workshop.
Julie will lead registrants through time-saving techniques to create A/E/C proposals faster and more efficiently, and how to improve resumes, org charts and other common industry-required proposal components. This course is intended for INTERMEDIATE LEVEL users and will not cover InDesign basics, as users should already be comfortable using the program. Similar online courses that are NOT catered to the A/E/C industry go for TRIPLE the cost. This workshop is relevant and specifically geared toward our industry.
WHEN: Wed., Jan. 22 | 1 – 5 p.m.
WHERE: The Worthington Renaissance Hotel | 200 Main St, Fort Worth, TX 76102

As 2020 begins, the new year looks strong for the commercial building industry, according to Anirban Basu, chief economist of the Associated Builders and Contractors. He indicated that the sector's strong average backlog — nine months as of August — "seems consistent with the notion that America’s economic expansion, now in its 11th year, is not on the verge of ending anytime soon."
