A special shout out to Amanda Harrell Seyburn, Associate AIA who is our Associate Director on the AIAMI board, and also serves on National, State and Chapter committees. Amanda was an active participant on the Green Health committee as well as chaired the Flint Chapter's Stair Week press conference. Check out the stair week press and interviews here. Thank you Amanda!

The Markitect Seminar scheduled for November 6th with AIAMI and SMPS is currently full with a wait list and will not be accepting any others on the wait list. However, due to popular demand we will keep this list and look into repeating this seminar at a later date.
The next ARE Seminar is scheduled for November 8, 2014 from 8:30a.m to 4:30p.m. We will be discussing Structural and Building Systems. Breakfast and Lunch is included in the cost.
Lastly, please remember that December 11, 2014 is the AIA Michigan Board Transition Meeting followed by the Holiday Open House from 4:00p.m. to 7:00p.m. Please mark your calendars for this event!
Have a great week and remember to contact me anytime with your ideas or if you would like to join a committee!

Clifford Holforty, AIA, PE Architecture Book Collection Donated by Ralph W. Moxley,AIA, LEED AP
| |
After my father-in-law, Clifford Holforty, passed on, the family was faced with how to manage his extensive architecture book collection. With the intent of finding new homes for most of the 130 architecture books, the family asked that they be donated to architecture schools in Michigan, preferably those schools he had attended, or a public library that would emphasize and display architecture books. They requested that each donated book include a decal inside the front cover that states "Donated by Clifford Holforty, AIA, PE".
