On World Town Planning Day (November 8, 2007), NCAC-APA held its biennial Awards Gala in the Map Room of the National Music Center at the Historic Carnegie Library in downtown Washington, DC. The event was also a celebration of the National Capital Area Chapter’s 60th Anniversary. The 100+ attendees enjoyed an evening of fabulous food, networking, music, and of course the awards program. Thanks to all of the volunteers and sponsors that made this event happen. And congratulations once again to all of our winners! We hope to see you at the 2009 Awards Gala!
