DETAILS

AIA Board Meeting
The next National AIA meeting is September 13, 14, 2012.  So far no agenda has been published, but I’ll post updates as they become available.  We expect to receive updates on the AIA Repositioning effort, updates on AIA Position Statements and updates on Emerging Professionals efforts.
Chapter Visits
As Regional Director, I try to meet with each Chapter every year.  So far, I’ve met with AIA Northern Virginia, AIA Central Virginia and AIA West Virginia. I plan to meet with AIA Richmond in August, AIA Blue Ridge and AIA Hampton Roads this fall.  Since mentoring is so important to keeping our young professionals in the AIA, I’ll be happy to do a presentation for any chapter who is interested. Philip Donovan and I are looking for mentoring coordinators from each chapter as well.
