President's Message:
It's funny how things change in a moment's notice. Earlier this week I was writing this message about what we have accomplished and what we still need to do before year end. On Thursday night a group of AIA members met to plan some future events for the year. We also had the honor of awarding some prestigious 2016 AIA Michigan awards. The award recipients were asked to attend for different reasons and the group surprised them with the announcement of their appreciated efforts over the years of service for the organization. It really made me reflect on my journey as an architect and AIA member.
I received my Michigan architectural license in 1991 after many years of taking the licensing exam. Needless to say, I had finally accomplished one on my long term professional goals. I became an AIA member soon after receiving my license. I have been extremely lucky that for over the past 25 years my firm has paid for all of my AIA dues. I will say that for years I probably never appreciated the firm's commitment to the AIA. Yes, at times I was one of those members that questioned the value of my dues even though I never paid a dime for my membership. Funny isn't it!
My initial involvement with the AIA started when I was asked if I was interested in mentoring an Architectural student at one of the Architecture schools in Michigan. Ten years later, I still look forward to the phone call and mentoring new/past students in their journey through their architectural career path. Like many members I attended conferences to network with fellow members and to acquire my yearly CEU credits. Yes, I even met some inspiring AIA members which today I realize was priceless. I increased my involvement by chairing some local AIA committees. Finally, in 2012 the Detroit Chapter contacted me about running for a Detroit Board position which would also allow me to sit on the Michigan Board as a Detroit representative. I was elected to the position and soon started to learn what being an AIA members really means. In my fairly recent path from Treasurer to now President I have learned so much about other firms, other members, government initiatives, the value of my dues, the future of the organization and our impressive team of young professionals. For this I am so blessed!
Instead of rambling on, let me say that I am truly honored to be an AIA member and serve you, because WE REALLY DO and CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Your fellow AIA team member,
Mike Neville, AIA
