The PDCA of South Carolina
Chapter has been able to get
an answer to a question shared
by many in the construction association
world: “Can a chapter that has a strong
tradition of regular, live meetings host an
event that is 100% virtual?”
The question was answered with a
resounding “yes” after a Feb. 4 quarterly
meeting that the chapter hosted virtually.
More than 85 participants accessed
the two-hour meeting and technical presentation
via the Zoom platform, and
it was clear that the paramount function
of a chapter executing meaningful
engagement with its members is possible
through a web-based format. While a
live, in-person event that brings important
networking and social interaction in
addition to general meeting components
and a presentation is a preference for
many who participate in chapter functions,
ongoing health concerns forced the
pivot. And South Carolina's PDCA chapter
successfully pivoted.
The event took place on Feb. 4, 2021.
Using technical and organizational resources
from the PDCA national office, chapter
president Jason Moore convened more than
85 chapter members and other friends from
the Southeastern U.S. region for a business
meeting followed by a popular technical
program (that provided PDH credit).
Presenter Mohamad Hussein, EVP and principal
engineer with GRL Engineers, gave a
90-minute program entitled Dynamic Pile
Testing: Basic Principle, Capabilities and
Effective Applications. Thanks to generous
sponsorship, this program was offered to
participants at no cost. t
