Over the summer we enjoyed two fantastic tours The first took place at the Renaissance Hotel which was followed by a networking Happy Hour that was graciously sponsored by BBL The second tour offered was of Liberty Terrace at University of Albany Both events provided CEs as well as a great opportunity to get together with colleagues
Our busy summer also included our Second Annual Summer Mixer at the Sports Grill in East Greenbush on July 28 Several attendees enjoyed looking at our Design Award Winner Boards great food amp drink and mingling with attendees from several different Professional Associations
We hope you enjoy our upcoming Emerging Professionals in Saratoga on September 28 We encourage those of you looking ahead toward licensure or newly licensed architects to join us to share your experiences over a beer or two and some food It is also a great way to kick off the New York State Design Awards that is being held on September 29-October 1

Beautiful views Wonderful DJ great food and good friends what more could you ask Attendees spent time with our sponsors who are so important in making our Annual Cruise a success each year Members socialized with consultant and suppliers strengthened old relationships and made new ones
On our scenic voyage up on the tower structure we witnessed the beauty of a bald eagle it was quite exhilarating On our return trip we raffled tickets to AIA NYS Design Conference in Saratoga AIA ENY chapter events Newsletter and Website marketing
