An exclusive offer from the Municipal Art Society to Coro alumni

Dear Fellow Alumni:

I'm writing you today wearing two hats: first, wearing my Coro Alumni hat, graduate of LNY 21 and second, wearing my Vice President, Arts and Cultural Development at the Municipal Art Society of New York (MAS) hat.  The Municipal Art Society of New York and Coro are both city-builders and share many core values, and a common goal—a better city.  MAS works toward a more sustainable, resilient—and livable—city.  And Coro helps train leaders to get us all there.  This is a strong and natural affiliation.  I'm happy to be part of both.

And now you can, too.  It's my pleasure to give back to the Coro community by offering alumni a one-year complimentary individual membership to MAS. 

MAS is the leader in New York City's livability movement, advocating for a built environment that supports vibrant neighborhoods, dynamic cultural amenities, and diverse economic development, by shaping public policy, hosting convenings and fostering urban literacy through community engagement.

As a convener of ideas and an advocate for solutions, MAS works to make sure that New York's neighborhoods are livable and resilient in every way.  MAS is committed to ensuring that our built environment encourages our city's economic vitality, cultural vibrancy, environmental sustainability, and social diversity.  As an MAS member, you become part of a venerable tradition of civic-minded citizens who care deeply about the future of New York City. Since 1893, the Municipal Art Society has fought to make New York a more livable city by advocating for excellence in urban design, planning, historic preservation, placemaking through the arts, and community engagement.

Benefits of membership are outlined on the opt-in page.  Here's one more:  if you accept this offer  by August 31st, 2012 you will be able to take advantage of the membership pricing for the MAS 2012 Summit for NYC, a two-day conference. 

We hope you will join the MAS community by taking advantage of this offer.  To opt-in and activate your complimentary one-year membership, click here. 

Please note that this offer is only available to Coro alumni.  We will be offering a similar membership to each member of all incoming Coro classes starting in the fall. 

I look forward to welcoming you all to MAS.

Best,
