Dear Board of Directors of <strong>Navy</strong> <strong>Pier</strong> Inc.<br />

We believed th<strong>at</strong> these new members strengthened the capabilities of our team in<br />
order to better respond to the many facets, challenges and complexities th<strong>at</strong><br />
the <strong>Navy</strong> <strong>Pier</strong> project will undergo. We believe th<strong>at</strong> Architecture, Landscape, <strong>Design</strong>,<br />
Art and Engineering can be integr<strong>at</strong>ed in a unique project. We have assembled<br />
for this project a gre<strong>at</strong> group of highly qualified professionals in order to achieve,<br />
working as a team, the goals set forth in the <strong>Navy</strong> <strong>Pier</strong> Centennial Vision.<br />
We recognize the importance<br />
of adding MBE and WBE<br />

engineering and architecture to<br />
