Committee News

Luis Jauregui will be the 2010 Chair of the RAR Committee.

We have had two planning meetings, and have a very exciting slate of seminars for 2010, more to follow.  We will be looking for tour suggestions, the tours are tentatively scheduled for March and September, so if you have an exciting project coming up, please let us know.

The planning group is making a recommendation that we change the name of the committee from Residential Architects Roundtable to the Austin Chapter of CRAN, Custom Residential Architects Network, (this is inline with the National Knowledge Committee Structure) (Luis was the National Chairperson for CRAN for 2010)

Contact Elliot Johnson with questions or to be added to the email list.
