Details and additional photos of NAVA 51:
The NAVA 51 Flag: Inspired by the flag designed by Whitney Smith for NAVA 3 and ICV 3, held simultaneously in Boston in 1979, the flag displays the Continental Blue and Buff colors of the city of Boston. Three golden crowns first appeared on the arms of Boston, England, the place that gave the city its name. They also symbolize that NAVA 51 is the third annual meeting held in Boston. The three connected chevrons come from John Winthrop’s arms and symbolize the three mountains on Boston’s peninsula that gave Winthrop’s settlement its first name and are memorialized by the modern city’s Tremount Street, while also representing the three annual meetings held in Whitney Smith’s home town. The flag was designed by Jim Croft and John Hartvigsen.
Organizing Committee: John Hartvigsen (chair), John Adcock, Luc Baronian, Chris Bedwell, Jim Croft, and Ted McNabb.
