SECRETARY

Community
Firms employing 19 or fewer people represent 90 percent of our members’ places of employment. The members who own, work in, and lead these firms require high-value services to enrich their projects. Local projects moving sustainability and livability efforts forward are the foundations to architecture’s future. We need to highlight local successes in all aspects of the profession to nurture our members.

Knowledge
In this hyper-speed Internet world, our knowledge is critical to the well-being of our projects. Technology must be utilized to improve collaboration with others and to harness knowledge earlier in projects. We need to collaborate with fellow professionals to improve an integrated project delivery system for our profession’s future viability.

Advocacy
Our advocacy challenge is an ever-changing society with immense needs. We need to advocate for legislation improving our built environment and our quality of life—for our lives and the lives of our grandchildren. Sustainable and livable are necessities for our profession’s future.

AIA architects can collaborate, orchestrate, and lead these efforts. Our profession can lead the way. Together, we can make the AIA the best organization of the 21st century.
