The Consortium is Growing

Recently at AU we had the pleasure of not only meeting but I was happy in having a small part in getting our newest Consortium member over to the USA, Vegas and AU for his first time... Please help us welcome the two newest members of the LARUG Leadership Consortium: The aforementioned Martijn de Riet and Darren Roos.

Martijn has already penned some fantastic articles in AUGIworld, as well as being a moderator for the Revit Forum (RFO), plus he is, as he states: a "Former building engineer gone rogue. Freelance BIM & Revit consultant. Brutally honest, straightforward. Boxtel, Netherlands" http://www.mdr-advies.nl

 

Darren has now been through his first major presentation (AKA: Trial by Fire) with The Consortium's Marcello Sgambelluri, Troy Gates and Jay Zallan and he not only held his own but capped the Coordinate and Dominate class with perfectly astounding technological advances helping AECO and the processes of getting the built environment built...well, ...better!!!

Since Martijn, Darren, Joe, Brian and Jennifer could not make the annual LARUG Consortium End of Year Party in person we raised a toast to you all and not only wish you the greatest of New Years but also look forward to the future with all of your ongoing input, leadership, support and guidance!!!

I for one can say I am better for knowing and working with you all, THANK YOU!!!
