KeyNotes Post Suggestions:
Content for KeyNotes posts consist of land-economics topics and directly relate to a LAI member, chapter, or a global LAI event.
Chapter meeting synopses are perfect for KeyNotes posts as well as articles written by a LAI member or honoring a member.
Personal or business travel that ties in land economics within images and copy are interesting KeyNotes posts.
Peruse past KeyNotes posts for inspiration on crafting a unique post.
Articles of any length are accepted, though long articles may be best broken into a series. Multi-media material such as ppt, charts, video, links to other material, etc. are often integral to substantiating post content.

Well, the weeks, months, and years of thoughtful planning paid off on March 19, 2026 as we gathered in Annapolis for our Baltimore Chapter’s contribution to LAI’s Semi-Q East Coast Tour.
We had almost 60 attendees, hailing from Hawaii, California, Florida, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, DC, and Baltimore area. The morning began at the Banneker-Douglass-Tubman Museum, with an array of speakers addressing not only Annapolis’ storied colonial past but also its vibrant present and future. Lunch at the museum was followed by guided visits to the State House, several historic homes, the construction at the City Dock, with a late afternoon reception at the William Paca House and a poem read by the City’s Poet Laureate Jefferson Holland.
The day’s events are well-chronicled in Joe Nathanson’s post last week in The Daily Record and photos from the day are here.
This event was made possible with the generous support of our sponsors – thank you!
