Lindsay was thrilled to attend the 2016 APT Conference in San Antonio as an emerging professional. Highlights included attending a field session on comparisons between the frescoes at the Alamo and the Mission Concepción, a tour of various buildings around San Antonio employing innovative concrete techniques, and lectures on both the teak window wall conservation project at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and insulation materials for traditional historic buildings. Many of the lectures, discussion topics, and field sessions were relevant to her daily professional work, and she left the conference feeling invigorated, inspired, and a little more knowledgeable! Thanks again for the generous support provided by APT DC's members.
