On Thursday, December 11, Mel Garber CSEng, F.ASCE, FIStructE, FSLIE, NOMA and Alphonse Occil, PE proudly represented Gedeon GRC Consulting GRC at NYCOBA's 50th Anniversary Holiday Party and Fundraiser! 🎉
This incredible event celebrated 50 years of architectural legacy and the enduring mission of the New York Coalition of Black Architects. Since its founding in 1975, NYCOBA has grown into a thriving network supporting over 300 members, student chapters, and countless initiatives that empower minority architects and strengthen our communities.
The evening was filled with networking, fellowship, and reflection on NYCOBA’s impact, capped off with an inspiring presentation and member awards. We’re honored to stand alongside such a visionary organization as it continues shaping the future of architecture.
Here’s to 50 years of progress—and the next 50 years of impact!
We’re proud to celebrate this milestone with our team! Check out the full recap on LinkedIn.
