AIA President Marvin Malecha, FAIA, has a special message about the AIA convention in San Francisco April 30–May 2. Architects will be coming together to network; learn about leveraging those connections to get meaningful, economy- and community-building work; meet with federal procurement officers in GSA, the U.S. departments of Transportation and Education, and the Homeland Security and other agencies; and, as a unified profession, map a course to a future of recovery and prosperity. Register by March 3, and you will receive the early-bird registration fee as well as an additional 5 percent reduction. For more information, visit AIAconvention.com.
