This live, timely, and interactive discussion will focus on what effect emergency federal stimulus legislation will have on the architecture economy, ways that firms can reposition themselves to blunt the impact of this economic storm, and the future of the profession. It’s all free and available only to members. Continuing education learning units are also available for participants.
