| Director's Update:
Welcome to the SAH Newsletter online
As we announced late in 2011, the SAH Board has endorsed moving the newsletter completely online to save on design, printing and postage expenses. In addition, because the print newsletter was so costly to produce, we could only publish it four times per year, which was not frequent enough. The new deadline for submitting material is by the first of every the month. We hope you will send us your news as well as that of your institution, SAH Chapters, SAH Partner Organizations and other groups that focus on architecture, landscapes and urbanism. |

How Study Tours are Priced
Recently, I had a conversation with a long-standing member of SAH about the study tour program. We specifically discussed the price of the study tours. This topic is not new and after the conversation I felt it may be important to share this information with the larger membership to dispel any misconceptions that may be out there. |
