Winners will be recognized during an awards reception at Stanford White’s landmark Tennis and Racquet Club in New York City on December 7, 2012. The reception will be narrated with inimitable insight by Calder Loth of Richmond, Virginia, who served as a juror along with Thomas Beeby of Chicago, and Russell Windham of Houston, Texas.

Co-founding White Awards Committee Chair, Michael Mesko said, “Sincere thanks go to the jurors for carefully considering each and every submission over two long, rewarding days of discussion and deliberation. We are grateful for the participation of all who submitted projects this inaugural year and for the support and enthusiasm for this new initiative, especially our generous underwriters. It is an auspicious start to a new tradition.”

There is also a great deal going on throughout our network. The Chapter presidents, staff, and other stewards gather each October at the New York headquarters to share experience, receive training, and elect their official representative to the Board of Directors. As Andrew Cogar is now completing his third successive term limit, I can report that by unanimous presidential ballot, architect Tim Barber of Los Angeles was elected as the new representative with his service to begin December 11, 2012 at the Hurricane Sandy–delayed annual meeting of the board. Tim is past president and pioneering trustee of the Southern California Chapter and is welcomed eagerly by all.
