AIA Seattle, in 111 years serving the local profession and community, thrives on a grand tradition of collaboration and commitment by its members and staff, which has resulted in our growing to be the nation's 5th largest local AIA component. I am excited and challenged by the opportunity to participate in this tradition by serving as President. I will bring to this office my Architect's passion and commitment for an AIA Seattle that provides value and service to our:

o Members - as an inclusive, welcoming, diverse knowledge-based resource for personal and professional growth through participation.
o Allied Professional Family - through leadership and action based on collaboration, coordination, respect and teamwork within the planning, design and building disciplines.
o Community - through advocacy for high quality sustainable design that enhances the livability of our designed and built environment.

Together we can make it happen. I encourage all AIA Seattle members to join in, "show up" and contribute to the vitality of our component, our profession and our community. You will be rewarded!
