Essex, CT The Connecticut/ Western Massachusetts chapter of SIOR held its annual fall meeting at the Essex Yacht Club. Despite the overcast rainy weather, no one’s spirits were dampened given the opportunity to meet at one of the chapter’s favorite venues nestled on the Connecticut River. A regular business meeting was held, followed by a networking hour, and then dinner. Just over 40 members, guests, and sponsors were in attendance. Highlights for the evening included the induction of new chapter officers; and acknowledging Michael Guidicelli, the chapter’s outgoing president, for his leadership over the past few years.
