President's Message:
Dear AIA Members,
Summer is finally here! Children are out of school, everyone is starting to plan or take vacations and enjoy the warm weather.
Halfway through the year I need to thank many AIA members, staff and Board members who make our 2016 goals a reality. One of the team's key initiatives was to increase membership in order to maintain our large State Status. Reporting of membership numbers is due to AIA National on August 1.
The National membership for calculation purposes stands at
88,000
which mean that our State membership needed to be at 1540
to maintain Large State status. CONGRATUALATIONS to the AIA Michigan team especially the membership committee, Board members and staff members who worked diligently to achieve a membership of 1619. The team will continue to solicit and attract new members to well surpass the numbers required for hopefully years to come.
The AIA Michigan Mid-summer conference at Mackinaw is just around the corner and there are quite a few new firms being represented from both AIA and AGC. The collaboration between these organizations is truly a great partnership for the future.
Once again, congratulations to individuals and firms that received awards at the Michigan Honor Awards on June 16th at the Henry Ford Museum. All were well deserved.
We have continued to communicate "Membership Value" through all of the Chapters and Sections. One thing to keep in mind is that as a member; what you get out of it is what you put into it.
Please send me an email or call me if you have any ideas how we can improve our efforts and the organization.
Thanks and have a great summer!! Hope to see you at one of the upcoming events
