 Happy Monday!
In case you missed last week's AIA Michigan Operations Update, I have included it again this week (below).
This week we have posted a new AIA Michigan job opportunity: a Communications and Membership Administrator! If you or someone you know would like a rewarding position with the AIA Michigan team, please forward this e-blast or refer candidates to our Job Board. Our Job Board has been receiving lots of new architectural opportunities this summer so be sure to visit it soon!
If you missed the deadline to register for the Mid Summer Conference, we still have spots available, but the Grand Hotel has very few rooms left! Head to our website and print the registration forms ASAP if you are thinking about attending this popular program.
Registration is currently open 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!
Have a great week and remember to contact me anytime with your ideas or if you would like to join a committee!
