Many members of Lambda Alpha International operate under the mistaken assumption that LEWs are just for BOGs -- that the Spring and Fall Land Economics Weekends (LEWs) are reserved only for the members of the Board of Governors (BOGs) of the organization and the chapters. 'Tisn't so!! LEWs are for all members, the spouses, even guests, professional associates, and FOMs (friends of members) who could benefit from this extraordinary educational experience.
Note that the agenda page has all of the links to the destination websites for further information. And checkout the 89 photographs posted as well -- truly a marvelous collection.
Simcoe Chapter (Toronto) will host the Fall 2008 Land Economics Weekend (October 24 - 25). The chapter is arranging Friday tours of the University of Toronto campus, the Ontario Investment & Trace Centre, Yonge-Dundas Square, Queen Street West (a blend of art and real estate) and a presentation at the Historic Distillery District.
Saturday, tours of developments will include: Markham Business Park Corridor, the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Hindu Temple, Mississauga City Centre, the St. Lawurence Starch Company Redevelopment and cocktails/dinner at the Gardiner Museum.
Toronto in October promises to bring us new expertise, vistas of prominent international development, and intellectual discourses on contemporary global land economics trends. For more information, see their website: http://lai-simcoe.org
Come see Toronto from inside the Canadian point of view! You'll be changed by the experience. All LAI members are invited and welcome to attend. For signup information, see the Simcoe Chapter website above or http://lai.org
Land Economics Weekends are hosted by a different LAI chapter twice a year, around May/June and September/October. Yes, the LAI BOGs do hold their business meetings on the Friday of a LEW, but after the work comes the play, the learn, the insight, the education about the land economics of the chapter's community. And what a fun-filled education the Phoenix Chapter of LAI provided to the members this past spring 2008. The Phoenix members gave us a truly insider's view of their community and of neighboring Scottsdale; inside the Scottsdale Hanger One (host to the private jet and automotive collection of the rich and famous); inside the Arizona State University's art center and prospective plans for an in-city campus; and inside a wide array of residential, mixed use, waterfront commercial (?? Waterfront?? in PHOENIX, you say???? YES, canalfront developments --- see what you missed learning about Phoenix?) .
And then there was the marvelous meals and speakers at Taliesan West, at sundown -- beautiful! Or at the Stockyards restaurant. And what a pleasure to meet and to talk with those next generation land economics professionals just graduating from ASU's real estate program (LAI's Student Association chapter in Phoenix).

An insider's view: we saw it at the LEW in Los Angeles, with a tour inside The Rand Institute, with lectures by members of the team that managed the LEED processes. We saw an insider's view at the LEW in London (including a dinner and tour of Malahide Castle) and in Dublin and Belfast where we now have the opportunity to welcome a dozen talented professionals as members-at-large from Northern Ireland, where one or two new chapters are in formation as we speak.
