Dear Docents. Education Guides, Exhibit Hosts and Guest Services Volunteers,
Phew… What a year it has been! We moved our administrative offices in April and then opened a brand new Chicago Architecture Center in August. In less than 18 months we designed the building and the exhibits, raised the money and re-branded the organization. The docents stepped up to the plate and redesigned most of the core tours, the route the length and overall making them more visitor centric. The new Exhibit Hosts learned all about the exhibits (many of you learned before there were even exhibits!); the Education guides learned new tour routes and gallery experience and the Guest Services Volunteers learned how to engage with our customer’s in a whole new place. And then oh yes – you collectively raised $100K to fund the naming of the Tour Desk. It has been an incredible year and it would not have happened without the work of all of you! The CAC is so fortunate to have such a committed group of volunteers. Thank you. I wish you and your family a Happy Holiday season!
