EP Committee Update
by Caitlin Daly, AIA, 2022 AIAENY President-Elect
On April 8th, the EP Committee kicked off the year with a Tropical Night Out at Franklin Alley in Troy. Attended by a broad range of professionals, we enjoyed a night of food, fun, and conversation. I hope that everyone had as good a time as I did learning from each other, and taking a moment to unwind. In keeping with those themes, we have a Virtual Coffee break scheduled for the end of June. Taking a break in the middle of your day to have a chat with your fellow EP members. I really hope that you will join us and come make our community bright. We will continue to come up with new and exciting programs that engage our entire EP community in the future.
