Summer 2022 ArchiTypes

President's Message

After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the AIA Conference on Architecture returned as an in-person event last month, bringing together thousands of architects to network and celebrate the impact of design. While the conference took place in Chicago, Ohio’s AIA members had plenty of opportunities to showcase the talent of our state during the course of the multi-day event.

AIA Ohio Disaster Assistance Program

As with many parts of our lives, we often have a greater demand for our time than we have time to give. It’s true for the work we commit to in the office as well as the organizations and groups that we volunteer for that fill up the rest of our life. This is all part of the work-life balance that we try so hard to keep in place. We face the same challenges within the AIA. There are many moving parts of the AIA and only so much time. If you are interested in serving the organization and your community but don’t have a lot of time to give, the AIA Ohio Disaster Assistance Program might be something to consider.
