Chapter Executives Institute 2026 Presentations

The Chapter Executives Institute (CEI) is an annual continuing education program developed specifically for SMACNA chapter executives. The most recent program event, held February 8-10, 2026, included educational sessions, local chapter reports, an overview of the upcoming convention, and served as an information exchange among chapter executives and national SMACNA staff. CEI benefits both new chapter executives and those with many years’ experience.

SMACNA provides the CEI presentations as a way to revisit and reflect on workshops and sessions held during CEI. Please view the presentation files below to learn more about each topic listed.
