DOCOMOMO US_NC Plans 2008
So many have submitted names and contact information to our fledgling chapter in recent weeks, that I wanted to take an opportunity to talk about the organization and our plans.
Last winter, the DOCOMOMO US_NC board set five goals for 2007: 1) incorporation, 2) an annual meeting, 3) an affinity reception with PNC, 4) a web presence, and 5) a bank account.
Incorporation took place in August -- with its establishment, North Carolina joins other places such as Western Washington, Georgia, the Tri-State/ New York, and New England (among others) with active incorporated chapters.With the establishment of a bank account soon, we will have met all five goals. Thank you to our board for their work!
The annual meeting was held in downtown High Point, and involved a walking tour of High Point's modernist architecture. The reception in October was a great success, with over 75 people participating. Our web presence is modest, in the form of this blog.
As we move into 2008, we look forward to setting additional goals to raise awareness, appreciation, interest, and preservation of modernist resources in North Carolina. The DOCOMO US_NC board will likely meet some time in December/January, and we are glad to incorporate your ideas and your energy to promote the cause. Though we have to be smart about allocating our resources and talents in a sustainable way, with growing statewide support there is already a great deal of momentum.
Keep an eye out for the next board meeting. In the meantime, I appreciate your interest and support of modernism, and hope to hear from you soon!
