The AIANY Housing Committee is seeking applications for a new co-chair with the planned departure of the current co-chair by the end of Q1 2020.

The committee invites the participation of all who are interested in housing design, including the development community, students, and members of the public. The AIANY Housing Committee also hosts the Chapter’s Annual Ratensky Lecture, established in 1998 in honor of Samuel Ratensky (1910-1972), an architect and housing official who was responsible for major housing initiatives in the city from 1946 to 1972, and who served as a mentor to the many architects who worked in his programs.
Interested AIA members can apply by sending a copy of their CV and a 250-word cover letter outlining their interest in the committee, why they feel suited to lead it, and in what direction they hope to take it, to Joseph Corbin, jcorbin@aiany.org. Please specify which committee you are applying to in the subject line. The deadline for applying is Friday, January 24.
