 October Program - Margie Loeser:
"Swimming with the Sharks - Architects and the Arbitration Process" |
October Program:
Swimming with the Sharks -
Architects and the Arbitration Process
Location: Office Environment Company - 1136 W Market St. Louisville KY
Date/Time: Wednesday, October 19th from 11:45 to 1:00.
Description:
For many years the AIA, and the rest of the construction industry, has included arbitration as the preferred means to resolve legal disputes arising in the construction process. At one time, arbitration was a fairly informal process (parties often participated without attorneys), but over the years it has increased in complexity and expense. The Architect's role in the arbitration process has also become more complex, creating potential conflicts and liability. This seminar is intended to review what the Architect can expect in the arbitration process, and explore some potential traps and how to avoid them or mitigate their effects.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss the role that arbitration plays in the construction process.
- Familiarize attendees with arbitration procedure under standard AIA contract clauses and American Arbitration Association rules.
- Understand the issues unique to Architects while participating in arbitration.
- Explain how an Architect may become an AAA arbitrator, and what to expect.
Program Outline:
1. Litigation, Mediation, Arbitration
2. Basis for Arbitration
a. Statutory Law
b. Arbitration Clause
3. Arbitration Process
a. Demand
b. Selection of Arbitrator(s)

Architects Needed to Serve on the "Comprehensive Plan 2040" Advisory Council, in Six Working Groups
|
|
Develop Louisville has asked for AIA-CKC's input and participation in the upcoming development of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. This new document will build upon the framework of the Cornerstone 2020 comprehensive plan and include new sections not included in that version adopted nearly 20 years ago. While the 2040 Comprehensive Plan will be largely written in-house by Planning & Design staff, they are soliciting the input of experts like us to help influence the drafting of this document and guide their decisions. We have already identified some volunteers as points of contact for each work group, but are still looking for addition AIA members to volunteer in each of the following work groups, particularly the ones in bold below:
Land Use & Mobility
- AIA Point Person: Dan Church
Community Form
- AIA Point Person: Dan Church
Community Facilities
- AIA Point Person: Marty Merkel
Livability & Environment
- AIA Point Person: Steve Goldstein
Housing
- AIA Point Person: Ann Del Prince
Marketplace
- AIA Point Person: Steve Wiser
We hope by having multiple AIA members in each work group, we can have the most impact possible on shaping this document. Please contact Marty Merkel at [email protected] with any questions, or read more and sign up for one of the work groups here:
