2024 AIA President. HOK Architect. Cornell Trustee. Detroit Daughter. Ingenuity Chicago Board Chair.
The big week is here! My term as AIA President is nearly at the halfway mark as we host #AIA24 starting officially on Wednesday. I’ll be attending a pre-conference event tomorrow, and then it’s non-stop events and activity until Saturday afternoon. I am thrilled that the conference where I serve as President is in Washington, D.C. Not only is it our nation’s capitol, but it is also where the AIA’s Global Campus for Architecture and Design will be re-opening next year. On a personal note, I spent my first Summer as an architecture firm intern in D.C. in 2004, and then moved there upon graduation from architecture school. Twenty years later, I’m so very honored to welcome more than 10,000 AIA members and guests to this homecoming event for our global community. We anticipate a healthy amount of on-site registration given how accessible D.C. is to many cities on the East Coast with high concentrations of architects. Speaking of healthy, I’m especially looking forward to interviewing Dr. Sanjay Gupta on Friday about the connection between health and design. If you’re on the fence about joining us, consider the fact that you’ll be witnessing history in the making. You won’t want to miss our seminars, events and keynotes, nor the opportunity to meet and reconnect with so many people who are shaping the future of the built environment. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gnjgyJeQ If you’re a new AIA member (joined between June 11, 2023, and June 8, 2024), you can register for a one-time welcome rate of $159! Tours and some events require an additional charge. Simply sign into the membership portal and register from there.

See you in Washington, D.C.! #MoreIn24Monday #KND4AIA #100Week25
I couldn’t be there for the full event, but excited to be there Friday and make the most of it!! Like you, I started my career working in DC, so love to be able to return with many professional peers and friends! Big week indeed!
Super proud of you! I wish I could physically attend the AAP alumni event today with you!
Let's GO!
Congratulations! Especially looking forward to the interview on Health & Architecture. Definitely more in 24!
