The
BX "Idea Exchange" Groups
|
 The
BX "Idea Exchange" Groups are an informal approach to meeting
BX members. They were created to simply bring
small groups of members together in an informal setting to:
- Exchange
Ideas
- View New
Issues
- Network
At the end of each year,
all participating Groups meet in an Industry Roundtable presentation to
summarize and discuss prevalent issues raised in individual meetings
and meet other members participating in
the I-X Groups.
Group Structure

Each
Group is composed of 20 to 25 individuals who
are committed to attend and actively participate in the
program.

throughout a two-year term, to discuss all aspects of the
commercial construction industry.
