7. Presentation of Financial Statements for Fiscal Year 2017

Jason Robbins, MRAIC, Second Vice President, Treasurer and Regional Director, Saskatchewan / Manitoba presented the audited financial statements of the RAIC for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 2017. The RAIC used the firm Welch LLP as auditors.

He noted the Moriyama Prize Gala was a trumendous success. It was administered at a loss however as revenues fell short. He added that the RAIC is looking to review how the prize can be delivered in a financially sustainable manner.

J. Robbins also noted that investments in information systems during 2017 proved costlier than budgeted and added that many of these investments were reported as capital assets. In addition, non-budgeted expenses negatively contributed to the RAIC finances for the year.

He added that the recent primary focus has been to re-establish financial sustainability by finding cost reduction opportunities and increasing member value and revenue streams.

John Stephenson, FRAIC, asked if the Executive Committee can elaborate on certain expenses and revenue items including advocacy, international support, recognition of excellence and the Syllabus program.

Brian Mitchell, RAIC vCFO, first explained that the presentation format seen in the financial report was adopted a few years back and is based on Key Result Areas (KRA). He added that the source of revenue for advocacy is advertising support through the RAIC journal and partner revenue sharing arrangements and that the source of international support is through grants offered by Global Affairs Canada for organizations taking on an international development project.

He added that revenues that fall under “Recognition and support of excellence” are gained through award-specific submission fees and sponsors.

Stuart Howard, PP/FRAIC, asked why the finances for the Syllabus program have changed so dramatically from one year to the next adding that the statements demonstrate that revenues for the program have gone down while expenses have gone up.

Brian Mitchell, RAIC vCFO, explained that the expenditure side is twofold: one is the way in which salaries were allocated, particularly in the way staff time was allocated, and the second is expenses specific to IT, programming and the development of an online platform to reduce staff time and provide a better student experience.

It was MOVED by Emmanuelle van Rutten, FIRAC, and SECONDED by Sean Ruthen, FRAIC, THAT the 2017 Financial Statements be accepted as presented. CARRIED

8. Appointment of Auditors for 2018

It was MOVED by Gregory MacNeil, MRAIC, and SECONDED by John Stephenson, FRAIC, THAT Welch LLP be appointed as auditors for the 2018 fiscal year as per the Board of Directors’ recommendation.

9. Members’ Forum – Questions from the Floor

The President opened the meeting to questions or comments from the floor.

John Stephenson, FRAIC, expressed concern that only 20% of licensed architects are members of the RAIC. He asked if RAIC has a strategy for addressing this aggressively? He also asked what can the provincial regulators do to help?

President Cox answered by stating that, to a large extent, the situation can be blamed on RAIC and its members. He added that historically, when an architect was licensed, they automatically became a member of the RAIC yet today many don’t join as they don’t know the RAIC’s story. He also added that members should speak of the value of the organization and be advocates. He noted that the RAIC is currently continuing to build and rebuild relationships of trust and respect with colleagues on the regulatory side in hopes to grow membership opportunities.

Gerrie Doyle, FRAIC, suggested that including RAIC membership within a list of societies as part of regulators’ renewal process could contribute to membership growth.

Stuart Howard, PP/FRAIC, stated that there are provinces that have a low opinion of the RAIC and its ability to advocate for architecture which is an issue for CALA. He suggested that offering some sort of free membership for a period would at least get people involved. He added that the RAIC can also encourage large firms to offer its employees membership to the RAIC.

Barry Johns, FRAIC, asked what the status is of the RAIC mission statement. He added that every comment played out so far has been addressed in the mission statement written 4 years ago and was a result of workshops facilitated by the board addressing membership growth, integration of ideas with respect to membership growth. He further noted that there is already a strategy in place through that mission statement.

President Cox answered by stating that a different version of the strategy was already in place. He added that sometimes things that are imagined are not possible.

Barry Johns, FRAIC, asked President Cox if he sees any residual value in looking at the mission statement?

President Cox answered by saying that the RAIC can always look back to this mission statement if it is used to move the agenda forward. He added that the idea of having mandatory membership, for example, isn’t popular with all regulators but it allows for the potential to search

for architects through the RAIC’s membership. He noted that is one of the opportunities that is part of the formal discussions happening between the RAIC and provincial regulators.

Alexandre Hamlin, MRAIC, expressed that when looking at the number of interns, there are more females than males but it’s obvious that here are a lot more men in the profession. He asked if there’s anything that the RAIC is doing to address that?

President Cox stated that one of the highlights from the Festival was to see the Women’s Roundtable scheduled to take place and added that he looks forward to hearing the outcomes. He went on to add that the real challenges are finding ways of making the process of moving from graduation to licensure easier and allow women more opportunities to succeed. He also added that the life changes from age of graduation to licensure are significant and that this is a social issue that goes beyond the architecture industry.

John Stephenson, FRAIC, stated that in Ontario there are 125 licensed architectural technologists being denied membership to the RAIC. He added that these are willing members who would like to contribute. He asked if this would be reviewed by the Board?

Mike Brennan, RAIC CEO, answered by stating that this is a timely question that has come up before and that is on the docket for Board discussion. He added that the RAIC must overcome specific issues concerning jurisdictions and while policing is a regulatory factor, the RAIC must be complicit

John Stephenson, FRAIC, added that the issue of policing is the responsibility of the regulators and that if the RAIC wants to be a strong advocate of architects, it’s missing this membership opportunity.

President Cox responded by stating that it’s not a missed opportunity and that this is part of the erosion of the relationships between RAIC and regulators.

Franc D’Ambrosio, FRAIC, stated that technologists are great advocates for architecture and opening membership to them is what the profession needs – more power through more numbers- and that RAIC should be an institute for architecture, not only architects.

President Cox added that this is part of the discussion the Board is currently.

10. Adjournment

As there was no further business, President Cox asked for a motion to adjourn.

It was MOVED by J. Robert Thibodeau, FIRAC, and SECONDED by Stuart Howard, PP/FRAIC, THAT the meeting adjourn.
