President's Message

As the calendar turns to Fall, my term as AIA Ohio President draws to a close. It has been a pleasure serving AIA Ohio members because of the dedicated group of architects that serve with me on the Board. I am constantly impressed and appreciative of the countless hours these individuals invest in advancing the organization for the benefit of our members and the profession. Over the past nine months, we have begun our work on defining the strategies and implementing the tactics of a three-year Strategic Plan.

Through the Foundation grant program and the AIAS chapter grants, the Foundation attempts to meet the needs of members at all stages of their careers.
