Not Business as Usual

an AIA New York lunchtime initiative Please RSVP here: http://aiany.org/calendar/rsvp.php?id=1010449 The economy has changed radically throughout the world in the last few months. The impact has been strongly felt in our design community in New York City. Projects have been put on hold or stopped altogether, new commissions are not readily forthcoming. Firms have begun, in turn, to downsize. Many of our colleagues are losing their jobs. Many young professionals are not even being hired. And our bills are not being quickly paid. Join us for the bimonthly Wednesday lunchtime forum to discuss what we as architectural professionals can do to create new opportunities for professional employment and community service. This week's meeting will commence with a 30-minute reporting session of January 7's table discussions. Participants will then divide into two groups, one focused on issues of advocacy and the other on resume building.
