Association With a membership of nearly 88,000 architects, interns and students, the AIA actively promotes the highest standards of professional ethics and advances the professional development of its members through continuing education. Speaking with a unified voice, the AIA represents architects in governmental and regulatory decisions that impact professional practice and the quality of life. The North Carolina Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA North Carolina) was founded in 1913 and is the largest statewide AIA chapter in the U.S., with over 2,200 members. The membership of AIA North Carolina includes about three-quarters of the architects who live in this state. AIA North Carolina members work and live in every corner of the state, practicing in firms ranging in size from one to 400 persons. The membership is divided into seven geographical sections, located in Asheville, Charlotte, Eastern North Carolina, Piedmont (Greensboro/High Point), Triangle, Wilming- ton and Winston-Salem. AIA North Carolina focuses its resources on five key areas, including: Government Affairs With its current offices located in close proximity to the state Capitol, AIA North Carolina is well-positioned to represent the architect’s view in legisla- tion and public policy development. AIA North Carolina’s opinions and positions are actively sought by lawmakers when dealing with legislation affect- ing construction, building codes and planning. Through a separate organization, AIA North Carolina maintains a well-funded political action committee. Public Awareness of Architecture and the Profession Working through several volunteer committees and its local sections, AIA North Carolina actively pursues a concerted effort to help the public become more aware of architecture and the positive impact architects have on the built environment. The chapter’s annual Design Awards program is a prime opportunity to highlight to the public the finest work by North Carolina architects. Additionally, AIA local sections declare one week or one month each year Architecture Week, hosting a wide variety of activities intended to engage and stimulate the public. Continuing Education and Professional Development Continuing education is a requirement for licensure renewal and for ongoing membership in the AIA. In 2016, the chapter will offer affordable and accessible programs dedicated to health-safety-welfare subject material. AIA North Carolina will also offer online classes through its O.W.L.S. (On- Demand Webinar Learning Series) program, which will be accessible to members all across the state. AIA members can participate in Knowledge Communities that specifically target career and practice needs ranging from health care facilities to historic preservation. In 2016, AIA North Carolina participated in the 2016 South Atlantic Region Conference, which took place in Savannah, Georgia, from September 26-October 1. The theme, Grow- ability: Handling Growth and Density, will provide architects with hands-on continuing education, professional development and networking among members from all across the three-state region. Member Services Publications and information are among the most valuable services available to AIA members. Members receive subscriptions to national publications, such as ARCHITECT, and many digital editions, such as Eco-Home and Eco-Structure, along with the AIA North Carolina News and Notes newsletter. Websites are maintained at www.aianc.org and www.aia.org. The AIA NC Center for Architecture and Design AIA North Carolina is proud to be located in the Center for Architecture and Design at 14 E. Peace St. in Raleigh, North Carolina. This building was made possible by donations from AIA members and firms. Find more information about the building at www.cfadnc.org. Collateral Organizations AIA North Carolina maintains and develops relationships with a host of organizations that impact the architectural profession, including construction trade associations, state regulatory agencies, accredited schools of architecture and other licensed design professionals. Mission Statement The mission of AIA North Carolina is to serve its members by enhancing and promoting the profession of architecture. 2016-2017 AIA North Carolina Directory 9 2016 AIA North Carolina President’s Message Let us be motivated to engage! “Those who have the privilege to know have the duty to act.” Among the many notable quotes attributed to Albert Einstein, I believe this one is most relevant to the time at hand for the architectural profes- sion and in particular the AIA membership of North Carolina. The population of North Carolina continues to grow rapidly, and the economy of the state is moving more and more each day from a rural, agricultural base to one driven by technology and science. Although we have the good fortune to be surrounded by many natural beauties and areas to enjoy and explore the outdoors, in our daily activities, we are challenged by a multitude of issues related to the growth of urban areas throughout the state. As a profession trained in creative problem-solving, we must be a part of the development of the physical solutions that will influence the qual- ity of life for all North Carolina residents and for those outside the state whose lives are touched by our creations. Three years ago, I was asked to return to the AIA NC Board in the line of succession to become president. I was very humbled by this request, and although my immediate instinct was to say yes because of the honor, it was essential that there be the opportunity to be able to make a difference. After a good deal of introspection and discussion with the leadership in place at the time, it was clear that the AIA NC was ready for a change. To thrive and not just survive, our association needs to embrace change and define our future. Echkart Tolle said, “Sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power than defending or hanging on.” In the past two years, AIA National has restructured the Board of Directors to a smaller, more effective decision-making body; created a council for strategic thinking; and, through the repositioning mandate, charged all sections and chapters to redefine how each of them will better serve its membership. As part of the three-year strategic plan developed by AIA NC in the fall of 2014, the Board entered into a statewide memorandum of understanding (MOU) addressing how all member services will be provided throughout the state. This task was, at times, challenging for the Board and required an honest evaluation of what mechanisms of the past needed to be released in order to evolve toward a better way of providing member service throughout the state. I am proud to have been a part of this process and look forward to continuing to move our association in the direction of better serving all our mem- bers. Several initiatives will be key components for improving member service. Begun in 2014 at the Center for Architecture & Design, it is time for the ACTIVATE Public Engagement campaign to grow and expand in a coordinated manner throughout the state. Initially, ACTIVATE 14 provided various local forums for architects to interact with the public in educational activities that promote the betterment of the profession. This type of activity is not unique to any one locale, and in fact, each section currently engages in some form of public engagement.
