Join AIA Newark & Suburban on Saturday, January 31, from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. for a guided tour and presentation of the Maplewood Memorial Library expansion and renovation, designed by Sage and Coombe Architects. 1 HSW Submitted This program offers an in-depth look at how architectural design can advance health, safety, and welfare in public buildings. Participants will explore how sustainable systems, flood-resilient strategies, full accessibility, daylight-filled interiors, and thoughtfully selected materials combine to create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment. The tour will highlight both the building’s exterior and interior, providing insight into how design decisions support occupant well-being, environmental stewardship, and resilient community spaces.

We’re delighted to invite you to the AIANS Annual Presidents Celebration! This special event highlights the leadership, vision, and accomplishments that keep AIANS moving forward. We’ll recognize outgoing President Lisa Walzer, AIA, for her year of service and commitment to the organization. Her work has contributed to the ongoing efforts of AIANS, and this evening is a chance to acknowledge her contributions. We’re very excited to welcome Kelli Glasgow, AIA, as our 2026 President. Kelli brings energy, vision, and fresh ideas to the role, and we’re looking forward to an exciting year ahead under her leadership. This annual celebration is a reminder of how fortunate we’ve been to have outstanding presidents over the years. We’ll also take a moment to honor past leaders and their contributions to AIANS. The evening will feature the presentation of the Herman C. Litwack, FAIA Distinguished Service Award to this year’s recipient, as well as the official installation of the 2026 Board of Trustees, marking the start of a new chapter for AIANS. It goes without saying but we'll say it anyway: cocktails, dinner, and dancing!
