Skog, FAIA
Mid Summer Conference Chair
The Annual Mid Summer
Conference is the longest running event on the AIA Michigan calendar
and one of its most successful. This year in addition to our 64th
year on Mackinac Island AIA is celebrating its 150th Anniversary.
Join us for this special celebration. We will again be partnering
with the Michigan Chapter of the Associated General Contractors who
has newly merged with the Associated General Contractors of Detroit.
Don’t miss this forum for fun, one-on-one contact with industry
leaders, and information sharing between the building and
construction industries. If you have attended in the past, do not
miss this year's event. If you have not previously joined us on the
porch at the Grand Hotel, this is the year to do so.
All of the events that
have become synonymous with Mackinac will again return in 2007 with
a few additions. Thursday will begin with AIA and AGC Board meetings
followed by a beautiful reception on the front porch and dinner in
the dining room. The Family Night event will again test the
creativity of all our attendees, and many children, youth, and teen
activities are planned. Our Bocci tournament and golf scrambles will
be better than ever. Friday morning will begin with annual meetings
and continuing education with first gentleman Daniel Granholm
Mulhern followed by bocci and afternoon golf. Again this year Friday
golf will be a competitive scramble paired by handicap and Saturday
golf will continue as an informal event. Friday evening gather in
the Tea Garden for Bocci Finals and cocktails followed by dinner at
the Grand and a fun filled evening of Bingo and Texas Hold ‘Em for
the adults. Saturday morning will have continuing education with
Norbert W. Young Jr. FAIA, President, McGraw-Hill Construction and
Balthazar Korab presenting a photo show. CEU's will be given for AIA
members for the sessions. Saturday evening we will have an afterglow
highlighting the conference events.
Please read through the
program and we look forward to seeing you there! |
