Steven Cadosh, of AIA Continental Europe Corporate Partner Swisspearl by Eternit, has made available his presentation from the Udine Conference. Interested readers are invited to download the (9.7 MB zipped) PowerPoint presentation. (The website editor presents this with some apology — not due to content but because of his lack of patience in whittling the file down into fewer megabytes and into a format which is not proprietary.)

Dominique Tomasov, CES Committee Chair, has this to share with the membership:
Dear Colleagues,
Before the year’s end many things are due, one being your Continuing Education credits.
You may view your transcript online to access your continuing education progressat http://www.aia.org/ces_m_default.
Please keep in mind that the credits for Udine will not show yet.
If you did not complete the mandatory number of hours required by either AIA or your State Board, there is still a chance to do some more hours before our next chapter program.
The following sites offer on-line courses, some of which are even free of charge.
—Dominique Tomasov Blinder
