President's Message:
Fellow AIA Members/friends,
First and foremost, I want to thank everyone who attended or donated money to the Fundraiser held last month for AIA Detroit Chapter, Executive Director Lauren Myrand. She is presently under going treatments after her surgery. The Fundraiser raised about $7,500 which is more than we expected. Once again I thank-everyone. Also, special thanks to all who were kind enough to donate auction items.
Please keep Lauren in your thoughts and prayers
I attended the Large States Roundtable in late September in Austin Texas. The roundtable focused on major issues facing the Large State Chapters across the country.
The main discussion points evolved around:
- Successful Programs each Chapter has implemented
- Board and Strategic council roles / interaction
- Relevance of AIA: Service to members / NCARB issues
- Role of AIA in Government Advocacy
- Communication and outreach within the organization
- Debt of Architectural Graduates-The National Design Services Act (NDSA)
- Specialty credentialing for AIA Members for different Market Sectors
We have some follow up sessions in the next couple of months. Stay tuned for more information as we receive it.
As a communication tool, one large State has a dashboard with ongoing metrics and results of certain events. I would like to initiate a similar metric dashboard for AIA Michigan to better inform our members.
Just some quick ideas for the dashboard:
- Key financial metrics (Organizational/events)
- Member Statistics (Member Numbers/Demographic by Chapter, Newly Licensed architects, architectural student numbers, etc.)
- Government Advocacy issues
My thinking is that this would be a quarterly distribution. Please send me some of your thoughts as members you would possibly like to see in this dashboard.
Thanks
