Honig,JD Zetlin & De Chiara LLP Unlike the prior law, the Lobbying Law Reform Act of 2005 now applies to government procurement contracts, defined as contracts with annualized expenditures in excess of $15,000. This new law limits the contacts between lobbyists and vendors to specifically designated government contracting personnel during the procurement process. The restriction period commences with the earliest written notice, advertisement or solicitation of a request for proposal, invitation for bids, or solicitation of proposals, and ends with the final contract award and approval by the state agency. click here for complete document 2006 Spring Symposium Brings Together Architects Former Rochester Mayor William A.

AIANYS Groen Hoek Exhibition Ryan Clarke, Assoc. AIA The AIA New York State Groen Hoek Travelling Exhibition was launched this past January at the State University at Buffalo School of Architecture's Dyett Gallery in Hayes Hall. http://www.aiany.org/committees/emerging/
To conclude the exhibition, AIA Buffalo and the University at Buffalo , hosted members of ENYA to speak about the process and their experiences in developing the competition program. The event was well attended and was followed by a reception and tour of the Dyett Gallery with ENYA members, the Dean of the Architecture School Brian Carter and President of AIA Buffalo Mark Rampado. The exhibition is scheduled to travel across the state to various local chapters and conclude at the October AIA New York State Convention in Long Island . 2006 AIANYS Convention - October 19- 21, 2006
- Garden City Hotel, Long Island
From 1910-1930, the hotel remained at the forefront of Long Island activity. Perhaps the most notable event associated with The Garden City Hotel occurred on May 20, 1927, when Charles Lindbergh spent the night before his historic flight dining with friends and family as a guest of the hotel. From its post-Civil War beginnings to the Roaring Twenties, the dawn of suburbia to the new millennium, The Garden City Hotel has provided the highest quality services and accommodations. In the early 1980s, current owner Myron Nelkin built the existing Garden City Hotel. Since then, this world-class, luxury hotel has been guided by the Nelkin family, who continue to uphold the tradition of elegance and service established over the past 125 years. Located in a quaint village setting with a local Long Island Rail Road station directly across the street, The Garden City Hotel offers attendees the convenience of a short 30-minute train ride into to New York City. The hotel is located approximately 30-45 minutes from the NYC airports. 2006 AIANYS Convention Product Showcase Booths and
