Bio
Bruce Pastorini
For two years Karen was President of Jacksonville Chapter of Construction Specificatons Institute and I was Chapter Secretary. Her leadership and direction of me as a subordinate in this position was outstanding. Karen was responsible for turning around chapter membership decline and re-invigorating the chapter by recruiting new members and convincing members who had been marginal parcipatants to assume positions as Board Members and Committtee Chairs. Karen has remained active in CSI and has won the "Most Outstanding Chapter Member Award" twice. It was a pleasure to work for a positive leader like Karen.
