Member Spotlight
MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
Leslie Goode, Assoc. AIA of Harrison Walker & Harper
 Bio:
I started working at an architectural firm as the receptionist in 1983 and a few years later was asked to consider the position of marketing director. I reluctantly said yes but soon discovered this was my passion. I worked for several architectural firms in Oklahoma City for more than 25 years before joining the construction industry where I've been for the past 9 years. When I'm not working I enjoy traveling worldwide where seeing new architecture and museums are always at the top of my "to-do" list.
How long have you been an Associate Member of AIA? 22 years
What's your favorite AIA Central Oklahoma event? Architecture Tour followed by Design Awards
What's your favorite thing about AIA?
I'd have to say the friendships I've made are my number one favorite thing about AIA. I love being exposed to this creative environment and I'm really inspired by the talent we have in our community.
Why did you choose to get involved in the AIA Board? The opportunity to give back to the AEC community; networking; camaraderie with architects and vendor partners
What drew you to marketing? I enjoy being in a dynamic, creative atmosphere brainstorming with colleagues figuring out how to reach our audience
Do you do any volunteer work? Over the past 22 years I have volunteered my time to many AIA COC, Oklahoma City Foundation for Architecture and other AEC events including work with Habitat for Humanity, Neighborhood Alliance, Infant Crisis Center and the Food Bank.
What's your favorite piece/place of design in Oklahoma? My favorite place of design is Oklahoma City! Love what's happening in Downtown / Midtown / SOSA / Film Row . . . .
If you were a super hero, who would you be? A super hero with the ability to fly!
Window or aisle?

On a Saturday morning, where could we typically find you?
