Location:
Business Solutions Center, 1435 Cincinnati Street, Ste. 300, Dayton
Cost:

RSVP:
Deadline for registration is Wednesday, March 28
In today’s complex #MeToo environment, it’s essential that employees at every level and location understand how to
recognize unacceptable behavior
, how to report it and how to respond to and support co-workers and colleagues who may encounter it.
Anti-harassment and anti-discrimination training
, especially when tailored to your specific culture, industry and workforce, can be a strategic tool to
educate, influence, and motivate
positive behavior and change across your organization. That’s something that benefits everyone
.
We are opening this seminar up for all HR personnel to attend for free. This topic is certainly important for all firm owners and employees alike to recognize potential harassment and discrimination before a larger issue arises. This is even relevant for those of you working for yourselves, as this training relates to interactions with consultants, clients, and contractors. Please join us on Wednesday, April 3, at 7:30 AM at the Montgomery County Business Solutions Center!
Following examples set forward by AIA National and AIA Ohio, AIA Dayton adopted an Anti-Harassment Policy on December 12, 2018.
AIA Dayton and its members are committed to full compliance with all laws and regulations, and to maintaining the highest ethical standards in the way we conduct our operations and activities. This policy is designed to prevent sexual and other types of harassment within AIA Dayton, and to provide for corrective action as appropriate.
Click here for the policy.
AIA presents this workshop to its members any other interested partners to educate them on what constitutes
discriminatory harassment in public and in the workplace, and how to eliminate it.

“Great” construction projects in America? Starchitects say: look elsewhere
A strange thing has been happening at some public architecture talks lately, perhaps you’ve noticed.
Over the course of otherwise hopeful and positive discussions covering amazing new projects from around the globe, at some point, usually toward the end of a talk, conversation turns to the current state of American building and infrastructure. And, it’s safe to say, people are not happy.
