 Happy Monday!
The excitement in the office is notable, and not just because it is Monday! This week is the Mid Summer Conference and we are bustling around to finalize details and pack up all the goodies our attendees will receive. Please note that the office will be closed while we are traveling beginning Wednesday (the 6th) and we will reopen the office on Monday (the 11th). Safe travels to everyone attending the conference and I look forward to greeting you on the front porch of the Grand Hotel.
If you aren't attending the conference, do not worry, we have several great AIA Michigan events coming in the next few months! A few of the upcoming events include:
Registration is closing soon for the Green Health Summit and space is limited so please register as soon as possible.
Have you registered for the Tigers Tailgate on September 12th? Registration is open and the flyer is below for more information. Join us for a delicious tailgate feast at the DAC followed by a great game against the Cleveland Indians!
The "Markitect" event will be held on November 6th. We have teamed up with the Society for Marketing Professional Services to help our member firms advance their companies. If you work at a big firm and don't know what the marketing staff does or if you work at a small firm and do the marketing yourself, there will be valuable insight for everyone. Check out our website for more information and to register!
Have a great week and remember to contact me anytime with your ideas or if you would like to join a committee!
