Presidents Letter

It is a pleasure to serve as the 2015 President of the AIA Orange County Chapter this year. As a Board, we have set ambitious goals for 2015 that we believe will strengthen our service to our members.  This year we will be focusing on better ways to connect with members through engaging programs that attract the interest of our entire membership.  Please review the monthly newsletters for events and programs as we look to creating new AIA experiences..   We will also be conducting an outreach program where we will be visiting numerous firms to better understand their expectations of the AIA and how we might better serve our 800+ members.  During our firm visits, we will be introducing opportunities for companies to recruit, while providing incentives to new members within the firm. 

 

We are always interested in hearing from our members on how we can add more value to AIA membership. Feel free to contact any one of the board members if you have suggestions that may help us to best serve you.. They're contact info is located at www.aiaoc.org

 

We look forward to providing a well-balanced organization that serves the interests of all members within our profession and celebrates the creative architects and designers that make up our community.
