Through COLLABORATION, we continue to overcome during economically, professionally, and politically challenging times. As the smallest AIA state chapter in the country, we are planning to lead by example to show that “design matters” as the pivotal issue in defining value for ourselves and for our state. Knowledge The practice of design and construction is ever changing, requiring more from all who are involved to produce quality. A new U.S. Green Building Council chapter for our state has been established to focus sustainable concepts and practices. Our state has officially adopted an energy code with raised awareness to president maximize limited resources and improve the quality of living. And, the Architectural Master’s Degree program Larry Crane, AIA at South Dakota State will be completing its first year this summer with a hope for future re-investment back into our professional community. Service For decades, Ward Whitwam, has been our AIA Chapter’s Executive Director. A special thank you from us all is more than deserved for his energy, vision, and plain stubbornness to not settle for something less. A new era has begun with Joe Bartmann, in partnership with the Rural Learning Center, in Howard, SD, as our new Executive Director. Joe is building on what Ward has established for our next generation of development. Design: South Dakota is continuing to provide high-quality professional planning services for small communities across the state. Our design professionals are donating their time and expertise at many levels in an effort to give back to our local communities, state, and areas around the world like Haiti. Perspective Without it, we are lost; but with it, we provide the purpose to create meaning. This year will mark the merging of the Plain Green Conference and the annual AIA SD Convention. Our two organizations share a common mission relating to “green design” and sustainability. In the future, more partnering will be accomplished to raise the quality of our collective in-state design and construction professional’s value. This year will prove to be successful with your collaborative participation. Enjoy the magazine, and look forward to next year’s issue!
