Greeting

 

Dear colleagues and friends of KAANY,

카니가 벌써 뉴욕에서 10살이 되었습니다. 준비기간을 포함하면 더 오랜시간이 지금의 카니를 여기에 있게 해준 것이 아닌가 합니다. 함께하는 것이 가장 큰힘이 됩니다. 그리고 함께하는 것이 가장 큰 축복입니다. 지난 10년을 함께해주신 회원분들과 카니의 모든 친구들에게 진심으로 감사를 드립니다. 카니는 앞으로도 뉴욕/뉴저지 건축, 조경, 인테리어, 조명 분야에서 활동하시는 모든 분들과 이 분야를 공부하는 학생들과 관심있어하는 모든 분들에게 더 나은 환경과 필요한 도움을 드릴 수 있는 기반을 제공하도록 최선을 다하겠습니다. 이와 더불어 여러 커뮤니티 단체와의 친목과 관계진전을 도모하는 일에도 적극적으로 앞장설 것이며, 더 나아가 기업과 관련 지방 자치 단체와의 관계를 넓혀 구인/구직에도 회원분들과 커뮤니티가 최대한 혜택을 받을 수 있도록 힘쓰겠습니다. 

It’s hard to believe that KAANY is already celebrating its 10th year in New York. When we include all the time, effort, and preparation that went into building this community before it officially began, the journey has been even longer—and every step has brought us to where we are today.

One thing we’ve learned over the years is that our greatest strength is being together. And more importantly, being together has been our greatest blessing.

To every member who has been part of this journey, and to all of KAANY’s friends who have supported us over the past decade, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your encouragement, participation, and friendship have made KAANY what it is today.

As we look ahead, KAANY will continue to do its very best to support professionals, students, and anyone interested in architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, and lighting design throughout the New York and New Jersey area. We are committed to creating opportunities for learning, networking, collaboration, and professional growth for everyone in our community.

We also look forward to strengthening our relationships with other community organizations and expanding partnerships with companies, public agencies, and local governments. By doing so, we hope to create even more opportunities for career development, recruitment, and meaningful connections that benefit both our members and the broader design community.

Thank you for being part of our story. The past ten years have been incredible, and we are excited to see what we can accomplish together in the years ahead.

Thank you!

Changsoo J. Sohn
President, KAANY
