Event
LA Members' Reception: What Can We Learn about Rebuilding from Los Angeles?
Apr 26, 2026

Los Angeles, CA
Last year’s devastating fires reshaped local communities, destroying homes and altering neighborhoods across the region. This program offered a chance to reflect on the rebuilding process, explore the innovative recovery efforts now underway, and learn how the American Çï¿ûÊÓƵ of Arts and Sciences is helping document this work as part of a broader project on the role of local institutions in addressing the housing crisis.
This gathering also provided an opportunity to connect with fellow Çï¿ûÊÓƵ members and celebrate our most recently elected colleagues.
