It’s time to put our ideas into action. Too much is at stake, and architects have a elevated standard of care that requires an interruption to practice as usual. As 2026 AIA President-Elect/2027 AIA President, in my first 100 days, I will utilize my experience and knowledge acquired through my eight years as a national leader to activate our 100,000 members at the local and state level…..to expand advocacy networks, accelerate leadership development, advance inclusive professional growth, and equip our membership with the tools to protect our neighbors and advance our communities.
