Last Chance- Register Today for Wednesday's AIA Luncheon!
We're all making decisions on a daily basis to keep our families and employees safe in the midst of the pandemic.  Superintendents have the difficult decision of balancing the safety of Oklahoma children and teachers, while still ensuring ensuring children are able to continue learning.  Join us on Wednesday, August 5th for the August AIA Luncheon for a panel discussion with Dr. Rick Cobb, Superintendent of Mid-Del Public School; Craig McVay, Superintendent of El Reno Public Schools and Dr. Nick Migliorino, Superintendent of Norman Public Schools.  We will be holding this luncheon in two formats.  In person with a 50 person limit and virtual via Zoom.

A big thank you to our August Sponsors!  Bell & McCoy Lighting & Controls, Best Companies, CEC, Miller Tippens Construction, Nabholz Construction and Smith & Pickel Construction.

AXP Friendly Firm Applications
The AIA Oklahoma AXP Friendly Firm program (formerly "intern friendly firm") began in 2006 to recognize those firms that go above and beyond to help intern architects advance in their career through leadership opportunities and assistance throughout the licensure process. The program is now called AXP Friendly Firms to highlight the importance of the Architectural Experience Program (AXP). AIA Oklahoma believes this program benefits both the interns and the firms that participate. It helps bridge the gap between education and experience by providing the tools necessary to achieve licensure. Firms benefit by creating an atmosphere of learning and professional growth, promoting professional development of staff so that more responsibility can be shared and fostering relationships among staff that create a positive environment which aids in retention of employees and a positive reputation among likely recruits. In the end the sharing of knowledge between those who have experience and those who are eager to learn benefits the profession as a whole.
