Election of Steering Committeeby Report of May Meeting | Share #567The meeting was devoted to the election of a steering committee. For the past six months, the organization has been run by a fluctuating number of people without defined responsibilities and there were some problems of communication. We decided that we needed more structure in our organization. All the members recognized the need of a central committee, and showed a lot of enthusiasm by volunteering to be nominateed. Five persons were elected to the Steering Committee, each with an alternate. The alternate to each coordinator will either work closely with the coordinator or be in charge of a separate task. Coordinators: Public relations-Bobbie Sue Hood, Ann King (alt) Education-Mary Laleyan, Susan Henke (alt) Employment-Lucia Bogatay, Ilene Rosenfeld (alt) Finance- Rosie Muller, Wendy Bertrand (alt) Newsletter-Mui Ho, Kathy Simon (alt) (Newsletter archived by Wendy Bertrand, January 2012) |

Finances for A.I.A. convention boothShare #635 |
Communication and Public Relations (PR)Share #636Our booth for the AIA Convention was a true communications bargain. For a relatively minor outlay of $5OO. we netted some 162 square inches of coverage in the San Francisco Chronicle on May 8, 1973. Cost of this space purchased directly would have been $42.70 per square inch or $6,917.40. The booth became the focus for establishing contacts with women architects around the country. .Among others, we met Anne Halpin, who introduced the women's rights proposal at the convention; Susanne Stephens, an Associate Editor of the Architectural Forum-, Faye DeAvignon, Pyesident of -the Association of Student Chapters of the AXA; and Jean Young, one of the two American Vice-Presidents of the Union Internationale des Femmes. Architectes. Thus, we are beginning to develop a network which will enable us to deal with common projects nationally. One of these, which was suggested by the New York group of woman architects and which Susanne is supporting enthusiastically is a major exhibit of work by women architects. A selection jury would ferret out the best work for recognition and exhibition. On the home front, Ruth Friedlander, representing a group of woman planners in the Bay Area, wants to schedule a joint meeting. We hope to schedule the meting in the fall. Proposed program: study of the architectural and planning input into a major San Francisco urban development such as the Embarcadero Center or the Yerba Buena Center, with a prior tour of the site If possible. Your suggestions and input will be needed when the date Is set. |
