ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE AIA-OC PRESIDENT, LIANNE OAKES


As the newly elected President of the Orange County Society, I look forward to working with all of you during this time of pandemic as we figure out new ways to continue our history of offering a variety of lectures and events with presentations online. We hope to go back to meeting again in person in 2021.

The coming events for this Fall and onward are still in the planning stages, but we do have the two AIA lecturers for 2020-2021 already committed. Be sure to stay tuned for more details on the website and via email.
