President Message
Hello Everyone

Over the last month like many of you, I have spent a lot of time educating myself on the virulent racism that has plagued our country’s past and present. The national and global responses to George Floyd’s death continue to reverberate. Calls for drastic change are being vetted for our policing and justice system, people around the world are protesting, and individuals and institutions alike are being called to re-evaluate their roles in addressing systemic racism. I have received several thought provoking emails from AIA members, activists, and other organizations, and there were immediate calls for the AIA to take a stand. Then, an even stronger stand. I have heard these calls, and want to extend my sincere thanks to the people who took the time to reach out and educate me further. That is a laborious action that did not go unnoticed. Read More

Hi Folks

If you think back to all the different 2020 Visions we had over the past years, I think it’s safe to say none of us saw this year coming. Although it has been a rough year so far, I believe we will all come out of these hard times stronger and with a better understanding of who we are as a community of Architects. We may be involved in a very competitive industry, but seeing us all come together to get through these difficult times is something we should all be proud of. But there is still much to do and I have a lot to cover so I’ll get right to it. Read More
