Dear Colleagues,
We ended September and started October with a bang! The golf tournament proved to be yet another successful event this year, thanks to Jorge Loya, his great golf committee and all the volunteers. We are appreciative of all our sponsors and players. We’re already looking forward to next year.
Thanks to Renee Jimenez for organizing the Design Awards Banquet. Our head judge and speaker, Bradley Hightower was engaging with his presentation on Courthouses, his humor added to the evening. We valued his comments regarding the project submissions. The Chapter congratulates this year’s award winners!
