Message from the AIAO EVP/CEO

 

Heather Wilson
AIAO EVP/CEO

Welcome our New AIAO Team Member!

We’re thrilled to welcome Paul Davis, AIA Oregon’s new Membership Recruitment and Retention Manager, to the AIAO Staff team! 

Paul’s hire is a direct result of what we’ve heard from members—we need to deepen our capacity for member engagement, partnerships and programming. Crafting the position details and finding the candidate with the skills and background to meet the expectations was a process led by the AIA Guides to Equitable Practice. Guides for Equitable Practice (aia.org) I suggest any firm utilize this tool to complete a transparent, welcoming, and moreover successful hiring process.

With eight years of relevant experience working as a designer, project manager, and marketing advisor to small businesses, Paul has the right mix of experience to strengthen AIA Oregon’s membership engagement, partnerships and programming. His role will focus on crafting initiatives that attract new talent, engage existing members, and cultivate a sense of belonging for all.

We hope you will be as excited as we are to get to know Paul at upcoming gatherings and events, in your committee and section meetings, or by reaching out directly with your own introduction and welcome – pdavis@aiaoregon.org.

With excitement for the future,
Colleen, Kathy and Heather
