June 13, 2018
New York City, June 13, 2018 – On Tuesday, June 12, 2018, AIA New York hosted its 151st Annual Meeting, where members elected 2019 leadership, made amendments to the chapter’s bylaws, and celebrated the achievements of 2018. The evening also served as an opportunity to welcome incoming Center for Architecture President Barry Bergdoll.
NEW LEADERSHIP
After presenting on the state of the chapter, from program initiatives and advocacy to its financial health and membership, 2018 President Gerard F.X. Geier, II, FAIA, FIIDA, LEED AP, turned over the podium to AIANY Board Secretary Faith Rose, AIA, who presented the work of the nominating committee in creating the 2019 slate and reviewing AIANY’s bylaws to better serve the membership. Present members voted in favor of the amendments and confirmed the committee’s slate, which is available below.
Following the election of the 2019 board and elective committees, 2014-2017 Center for Architecture President Tom Krizmanic, AIA, reviewed the organization’s 2018 achievements before introducing incoming Center President Barry Bergdoll. Bergdoll, the Meyer Schapiro Professor of Art History and Archaeology at Columbia University and a renowned scholar and curator, has served on the Center for Architecture’s board for the past four years. He will assume his duties on July 1, 2018
“I am very honored to serve as the next President of New York’s Center for Architecture, a vital and essential place where the design professions and the general public from school children to New York citizens to tourists meet one another to learn and exchange views and ideas,” said Bergdoll. “With its transparent facade offering views deep into its inner workings, the Center for Architecture is a place where design and the public good meet…But most importantly it is committed to crafting a built environment that is resilient in the face of the enormous challenges before us, from climate change, to dramatic social and economic equality, to the fragility of the public sector and the threats continuously posed to civic discourse. Architecture has a stake in all these issues.”
