Albuquerque Apparel Center made great strides in 2011 to kick-start the new year. And 2012 promises to be an exciting year of unbelievable milestones! We feel blessed to have you as a part of the AAC family. Below are a few 2011 year end highlights and a look at what's coming for 2012....

	November Meet and Greet gathering a success!
Thanks to all who braved the snow and cold to attend our Albuquerque Apparel Center "Meet and Greet" gathering November 7^th at Nob Hill Fabrics. Many great ideas and concerns were discussed giving the Albuquerque Apparel Center the seeds it was looking for to grow from.

AAC meets in Chicago

The Albuquerque Apparel Center had much to be thankful for over the Thanksgiving holiday. Meetings with fellow apparel industry members in Chicago were very successful, including the partnership with Designerlines of Chicago! Together we are creating a new form of apparel center to meet the unique needs of the New Mexico apparel (and accessory) industry.

More information on this to come soon!
