*The president of our Houston NOMA Chapter* Dear HNOMA Chapter Members, Friends, Allies, and Families, In the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl, our hearts are heavy with concern for all those affected by the storm’s devastating impact. The damage and power losses experienced in Houston this week have brought significant challenges to our community, and it is during times like these that our unity and support for one another become even more crucial. We are committed to standing with each and every one of you as we navigate through this difficult period. Our thoughts are with those who have been displaced, those dealing with the loss of property, and those striving to return to normalcy amidst power outages and disrupted lives. Please know that we are here to support you in any way we can. Whether it’s through providing links for resources, offering a helping hand, or simply being a source of encouragement, we are here to assist our members and our community. We encourage everyone to reach out if you need help or if you are able to offer assistance to others. Together, we can strengthen our bonds and emerge from this crisis with resilience and solidarity. Stay safe, and take care of yourselves and each other. We will get through this together. With heartfelt concern and support, Micki Washington, AIA, IIDA, LEED AP, NOMA Houston NOMA President
