    From the Court to the Family: CJ Watson & His Mom Cathy on Sacrifice, Legacy, and Raising Champions
    What does it really take to raise two professional athletes while still showing up for your community? In this special episode of The Sandwich Generation Survival Guide, Candace Dellacona sits down with retired NBA player CJ Watson and his mother, Cathy Watson, for the show’s first-ever conversation with both a parent and their adult child. CJ played for the Golden State Warriors, Chicago Bulls, Brooklyn Nets, Indiana Pacers, and Orlando Magic, and is the founder of the Quiet Storm Foundation. Cathy has spent more than 30 years in youth development in Las Vegas and now serves as the foundation’s executive director. Together, they open up about the sacrifices behind CJ’s success, keeping character and education front and center through an athletic career, leading by example instead of by words, and how their relationship has evolved now that CJ is an adult, a father, and a business partner in the family’s foundation. Whether you are raising children with big dreams, redefining your role as your kids become adults, or thinking about the legacy you want to leave behind, this conversation offers a rare, honest look at what family, faith, and sacrifice look like from both sides.

    AIA Tri-State Conference
    Princeton will serve as the backdrop for three days of connection, learning, and design leadership. From keynotes to tours to the Tri-State Design Awards, this year’s conference is designed to go far beyond education sessions. Kick off the week with pre-conference intensives and individual state component Design Award celebrations, followed by three days of education, inspiration, networking, and design excellence at the 2026 AIA Tri-State Conference—featuring pre-conference intensives, three keynote speakers, 25 education sessions, curated tours, an expo, spec academies, and the AIA Tri-State Design Awards—bringing together architects and design professionals from New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania to connect, learn, and celebrate the best of the profession. G2. Designing Secure Practices: Cybersecurity, Data Privacy, Contractual Provisions, and Insurance Risks for Architects (4:00 PM - 5:30 PM) Architects and design professionals increasingly rely on cloud platforms, BIM software, and digital tools to manage sensitive data, creating cybersecurity and privacy risks. A single incident can trigger liability claims, regulatory obligations, reputational harm, and insurance challenges. Yet many firms underestimate how contracts, insurance, and internal practices intersect during a breach. This program offers legal and insurance perspectives on cyber risk in architecture, examining liability exposure, risky contract provisions, and mitigation strategies. A cyber insurance expert will explain policy responses, coverage gaps, coordination with professional liability, and best practices for aligning insurance with contractual risk and protecting firms from evolving cyber threats. Learning Objectives: Identify key cybersecurity and data privacy risks faced by architecture firms and explain how these risks can impact professional liability and project outcomes. Analyze common contractual provisions to determine which clauses may increase exposure to cyber incidents and propose strategies to mitigate these risks. Evaluate the scope and limitations of cyber insurance policies, including coordination with professional liability coverage, to determine how a policy would respond in a breach scenario. Develop actionable risk management strategies by integrating legal, contractual, and insurance considerations to protect sensitive client and project data.
