Dear Colleagues,
Happy August! It was a pleasure seeing many of you at the July Chapter meeting. Our Chapter hosted Mr. Paul Dennehy, AIA, TxA President Elect and Mr. James Perry, TxA Executive VP/CEO. Mr. Dennehy gave a great presentation and provided us with one continuing education hour. He spoke to us about his experiences as an architect and the value of working with our communities. He also reminded us of the importance of contributing to TAC to support the advocacy efforts on behalf of architects and architecture. Our Chapter has not met its yearly goal of $2,500 and I am therefore providing you with the link so that you can contribute on-line as soon as possible.
