At our January luncheon, the Chapter honored our past presidents of the Montgomery Chapter AIA and thanked our outgoing president, Paul Zanglin, for a year of hard work and excellence in leadership. We also welcomed our incoming president Simon Hurst, as well as the new Chapter Officers for the year. Simon served as speaker for the luncheon and provided an overview of the proposed budget for 2017 and his goals for the year. The budget was approved by the Chapter Officers and seconded by the Chapter Members.

The Montgomery Chapter AIA would like to thank Buddy Hibbard with Acme Brick Company for sponsoring the Past President's luncheon this year.
