The
BX "Idea Exchange" Groups
|
The BX "Idea Exchange" Groups are an informal
approach to meeting active and associate 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 active and associate members participating in the I-X Groups.

Group Structure and Summary:
- Each Group is composed of 15 to 18 individuals who
are committed to attend and actively participate in the
program.
- Groups typically meet for about an hour-and-a-half,
on a regular basis throughout a two-year term, to discuss
all aspects of the commercial construction industry.
- Each I-X Group consists of a "core" group composed of
individuals including an architect, engineer, general
contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, attorneys,
accountants and industry-related representatives.
- Discussion topics are established and scheduled by
each group at the very first meeting and Group members
should volunteer to "introduce" topics.
- Group meeting times for the year are scheduled at
first meeting of that new year.
- Location of meetings for the year are established at
first meeting of that year. Participants should volunteer
to host a meeting at their location. If a location is not
available among group members, the BX may be used as a
possible location between the hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
if room is available.
- A BX staff representative will attend all group
gatherings for a better understanding and response to
industry issues.
