Don’t Lose Your AIA Connection: Renew Your Membership by March 31
If you haven’t yet paid your AIA dues, you can do it the easy way—online. You can review your invoice, update your membership profile, and submit credit-card payment for 2007 renewal dues. Visit www.aia.org and click “Renew Your Membership” in the left-hand column. It’s that easy—thousands of AIA members already have done it. Questions? Send an e-mail to AIA Information Central or call 800-242-3837. (If you want to pay your dues by mail, you can log in and download your renewal form.)


The Economy • Investing • Energy

The Economy: There’s talk of recession if business spending lags.
Investing: China stocks will continue down. U.S. market will recover.
Energy: Use of liquefied natural gas will go up . . . if supplies hold up.


Letters to the Editor

This week, AIA members have something to say about San Antonio’s River Walk, Karen Lewand’s Doer’s Profile, global warming, the economy, and who’s responsible for the Hearst Building.
