Last Friday, the NSW Chapter hosted the NSW 2016 Architecture Awards at Australian Technology Park, an amazingly successful evening. For those of you reading this who attended, we trust you enjoyed the changed format to a Friday evening and formal sit down dinner. From what we observed, it seemed like everyone enjoyed the awards ceremony, our MC Judith Lucy who kept us laughing and on time, and overall it was a wonderful celebration of architecture in NSW. The final count was 605 attendees, well up by over 100 people on last year\u2019s event and we thank everyone who participated, purchased tables and generally helped us achieve our goal of greater outreach to the profession. Thank you as well to the hard work put in by the NSW Chapter team, in particular our Events Manager Hannah Burgess and our Events Co-ordinator Rosanna Scarcella who worked tirelessly to deliver a seamless event. Here\u2019s to next year\u2019s Awards even bigger and better!<\/p>\n
This week, we will have the second Chapter Council on the Road for 2106 in Newcastle, hosted by the Newcastle Division. We invite members in the area to attend and share with us their thoughts and feedback. It has been a challenging 6 months since the closure of the Newcastle office, but we remain committed and focussed to delivery of service and events in the Newcastle region for members.<\/p>\n
