We have begun to organize, with Paul Welch's (Ex VP CCAIA) help, a statewide California CRAN organization. We have a steering committee of nine people who are having monthly conference calls to decide things like: what committees shall we have, who will be the executive officers, what are the issues that are relevant to California, what events should we attend and put on, etc. Sarah Woodfield, Paul Welch and I will be leading an organizational meeting at PCBC, Pacific Coast Builder's Conference, either June 4 or 5th in San Diego. If you want to attend, please send me an email for more information. We are looking for more members of our CCAIA CRAN steering committee and will be discussing how to start a CRAN Committee in your local chapter. Look for two CRAN Workshops and 4 sessions put on by CRAN at the AIA Convention in Denver. Information will be available soon about our annual CRAN Symposium to be held in Santa Fe, NM August 22-25. It sill consist of an all day tour of some outstanding houses plus a day and a half of great speakers talking about custom residential design!
It is great to see the AIA providing this opportunity for Custom Residential Architects to share our knowledge and get together to share or love for residential design. Hope you can join in the effort.
