Breaking News: Art Vandelay to Headline Our National Awards!
Art Vandelay
“I'm an architect. I design railroads"
We are thrilled to announce that the renowned architect, importer/exporter, and latex salesman, Art Vandelay, will be gracing us with his presence as the keynote speaker at our upcoming National Design Awards in October! Yes, you read that correctly – the Art Vandelay.
In keeping with our annual theme, "Architect Helping Architect," who better to inspire us than a man who has built a career out of... well, building careers (and buildings, we assume)? Mr. Vandelay, a legend in both the architectural and latex circles, will share his invaluable insights on the pillars of architectural integrity, innovative material use, and perhaps how to seamlessly integrate these worlds.
Expect to Learn:
How to design buildings that are not only structurally sound but also capable of storing vast quantities of latex.
Networking tips for architects looking to break into the highly competitive import/export business.
The art of creating a persona so compelling, it becomes a running gag on one of the most beloved sitcoms of all time.
But Seriously...
While we all enjoy a good laugh, let's pivot to the ethos that truly defines SARA. We're dedicated to the principle of "Architect Helping Architect," not to spending your membership fees on high-priced keynote speakers, even if they are as illustrious as Mr. Vandelay.
Our focus remains steadfastly on supporting our members and advancing our mission-driven objectives. Whether you're seeking professional development, networking opportunities, or need assistance, SARA is here for you. We invest in resources and initiatives that directly benefit our community, ensuring that your contributions are used effectively and meaningfully.
Stay Connected:
As we look forward to our National Design Awards at TWA Hotel in NYC (sans Art Vandelay), we invite you to engage with our lineup of truly impactful events. This celebration of architecture is not only a fantastic networking event but also an opportunity to honor the creativity and innovation within our community. Remember, we're more than just an organization; we're a society committed to uplifting each other.
In Conclusion:
Though Art Vandelay won't be joining us (this time), the spirit of collaboration and innovation he represents (in a roundabout way) is at the heart of what we aim to achieve together. Let's continue to build (figuratively and literally) a supportive network for architects, by architects.
Looking forward to a fantastic year and to seeing all of you October 26 at the TWA Hotel (NYC). Until then, keep designing, innovating, and, most importantly, laughing.
