SIA 2012 Election Results
Since the SIA last met in Cincinnati in 1978, the skyline has changed and much of the heavy industry is gone, but many IA attractions remain. Cincinnati has an unusual stock of 19th-century commercial buildings, a surprising amount of industrial activity, and Art Deco masterpieces such as Carew Tower, the Hilton Netherland Plaza (conference headquarters), Union Terminal, and Lunken Airport. The vast Union Terminal complex now contains three museums, including the Cincinnati History Museum where our Saturday banquet will be held. In addition to Cincinnati and its Ohio suburbs, tours are planned to include sites in Kentucky and as far north as Dayton. The area’s industrial heritage includes many examples of water, rail and air transportation infrastructure and component manufacturing, food processing, and production of parts for motor vehicles.
