SAN ANTONIO CITY CENTER A WORD FROM OUR DIRECTOR
DIRECTOR ELECT Christina Cantu, IIDA GSC Architects 361-779-3156 cantu@gscarchitects.com
As we begin the 2015 year, we are readily anticipating and excited for our Spring events! The last two weeks of February we will be collecting design materials for Zerolandfill, a nationally recognized positive impact movement that helps divert materials out of the landfill and back into the community. There will also be a Pittsburgh Paint CEU in February and a program tour of the new UHS Sky Tower in March. We're also planning several other continuing education courses.
PAST DIRECTOR Jennifer Abilez, IIDA Steak n Shake P:210-687-6672 jennifer.abilez@ steaknshake.com
Plans are well underway for Imagine That 2015 - Color My World. We're shaking things up this year with a new venue, a new charity and a whole new design challenge. Color My World will take our design teams on a fun filled journey through time and space using color and music as their inspiration. This year will be one you don't want to miss!

FALL EVENTS RECAP MEMBERSHIP SOCIAL - At this year’s membership social we focused on finding ways to have our members interact with students and potential new members. We also highlighted the benefits of being an IIDA member. Our membership chair developed a “scavenger hunt” that attendees received upon their RSVP to the event. The scavenger hunt featured fun scenarios that teach participants about IIDA. We are happy to report that our City Center membership is up 12 percent for 2015! PROGRAMS TOUR - IIDA San Antonio City Center had two architects from Marmon Mok present a design-focused program tour of the new Tobin Center of the Performing Arts. The newly renovated complex has been well received within the community and many designers have been interested in the transformation. Crossville Tile and Mannington Commercial + Amtico hosted a happy hour at Ocho afterwards where attendees discussed the tour. INDUSTRY ROUNDTABLE - We had excellent feedback at our industry roundtable that took place at Paloma Blanca. We are looking forward to another successful partnership year with our local industry representatives. Many of our local industry members gave honest input on how we can improve and continue to improve our relationship. We also encouraged our industry members to become more involved and advocate the changes they wish to see. February 2015 | iida-tx-ok.org
