Craftsmanship, Preservation, & Sustainability: John F.W. Rogers Opens the Enduring Places Conference

John F.W. Rogers, VP at Goldman Sachs and Chairman of the White House Historical Association, welcomes attendees of Enduring Places, the national conference of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art.
In November 2023, the ICAA hosted the national conference Enduring Places. For three days, 225 participants from around the country gathered in Charleston, South Carolina and engaged in a diverse offering of talks, panel discussions, working sessions, and tours focused on three themes: craftsmanship, preservation, and sustainability.
John F.W. Rogers, executive vice president of Goldman Sachs and chairman of the White House Historical Association, as well as the generous benefactor of Enduring Places, welcomed attendees with an inspiring set of opening remarks that emphasized the ICAA's mission to promote the practice and appreciation of classical design in architecture and its allied arts.
From April to June 2024, the ICAA will be releasing all of the recordings from Enduring Places. Sign up for the ICAA's biweekly newsletter, World of Classicism, to be notified when other installments are released in the coming weeks: bit.ly/ICAAemails
