Speakers Bureau Re-launch
Looking for a speaker for your business group, public service organization or professional association? Consider this - while all of us view and interact with our community's buildings, few of us understand the built environment like architects - and we want to share our insights.
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) is proud to announce that we have established a statewide Speakers Bureau of AIA members willing to speak to organizations just like yours.
You can schedule these complimentary presentations for your group by contacting the speaker. A brief description for each presentation is included on the website. More presentations will be available in the coming months!

Opportunity to Tell the World
Did you ever wish you could tell the world how you feel about Architecture and its influence on our lives? AIA Michigan is actively developing a library of Position Papers for publication, education and public awareness. The overall intent of Position Paper program is to create a library of prepared statements and to respond to 'one-off' issues as they arise.
Theo Pappas, AIA has written the inagural article in the program and shared his perspective with the world on Detroit's Public Transportation in the context of the current construction of the M-1 Rail. (Click here for the article)
Dennis King, FAIA, has authored an article on
Why Design Matters
, which is scheduled to be included in the January 2015 issue of CAM Magazine.
