Champion the profession. Nurture our chapters. Build Michigan better.

President's Message:

Fellow AIA Members/friends,
 
Sorry, for once this message will not address any AIA goals/objectives or how we are doing as an organization. I'm sure none of you will lose sleep over that!!

Let's talk about who we are all deep inside. We are passionate and caring individuals who look out for our members and friends. There is no one I know who can say they DO NOT have a friend or relative who has battled major medical issues.

We have a good friend and colleague who has been diagnosed with a brain tumor and needs our help. Our friend, Lauren Myrand who is the Executive Director of the Detroit Chapter of the AIA is experiencing such a condition. She has touched all of us with her passion to improve our organization and make it the best it can be.
 
This coming Monday, September 19 AIA Members/friends will be hosting a Fundraiser to assist Lauren in some of her financial concerns + worries along with standing by her side as she undergoes her upcoming surgery and recovery. The Fundraiser will be held at the AIA Michigan Offices in Midtown from 5:30 - 7:30 pm. Please click here to view the flyer. There is also an online auction if you cannot attend in person. Please click here to view the online auction. Please be generous in your donations or bids on auction items. As members, we can reduce some of her worries by helping her out financially so she can focus on her recovery.  Please join me Monday at the fundraising event. 
 
Please keep Lauren in your thoughts and prayers

God Bless
Mike Neville, AIA
