Strengthening the ties between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Institute, AIA President Thompson E. Penney, FAIA, and Executive Vice President/CEO Norman L. Koonce, FAIA, aligned agendas with EPA Administrator Christine Todd Whitman at the AIA headquarters in Washington, D.C. February 5.
Highlighting
the work of the AIA Center for Livable Communities, Penney thanked Whitman
for the EPA’s sponsorship of the “New Partners for Smart Growth”
conference in New Orleans January 30-February 1. The national AIA and
several other AIA components cosponsored that forum. Whitman acknowledged
the Institute's invitation for EPA Office of Smart Growth involvement
in this September’s Density Conference in Boston, which is to be
co-hosted by the national AIA component and the Boston Society of Architects.
Penney presented Whitman with the America by Design pin he designed last year for the ArchiPAC effort in commemoration of post-September 11 AIA-member unity. Koonce, in turn, gave her a copy of Fay Jones, by Robert Ivy, FAIA, and invited her to attend the 2003 Grassroots Leadership and Legislative Conference March 5–8.
