I am looking forward to the 2024 edition of ArchEx and Visions. I have registered for Architecture Exchange East and Visions. You can too right here>>
I always look forward to connecting with our colleagues, both those with whom I interact regularly and those I only seem to encounter during the annual conference. I enjoy engaging in the programming myself and also the satisfaction of seeing others enjoy the content and connect with each other—the euphoria of camaraderie.
The annual meeting of the membership is always a nice event. The reports from our committees, councils, and state resources provide a substantial overview of what they have achieved and what they are planning to accomplish. The meeting surveys our activities and offers a convincing digest of the value proposition of our collective efforts.
Of course, there is Visions, the gala where we celebrate the honorees and awardees—those who have dignified themselves and our organization through their accomplishments. The evening offers us the opportunity to celebrate them and to be motivated, encouraged, and nourished by their example.
I hope to see you there; where we can convene, connect, and celebrate.
