Dear AIA Oregon Members,
Following our recent Strategic Planning Retreat in Bend, we're excited to announce the formation of a new Professional Development Task Force. While the full outcomes of the retreat are still being reviewed by the Board of Directors, the critical need for this task force was a universally agreed-upon priority. To act swiftly, the Executive Committee of the Board has decided to launch this initiative without delay.
The purpose of this task force is to directly influence and enhance the value we provide to our members. You'll play a vital role in setting the direction for, providing input on, and suggesting new education, trends, and technologies that will shape our AIA Oregon continuing education programs, networking opportunities, and firm events.
This task force will convene annually for a focused, three-month period, meeting during August, September, and October. Your contributions during these months will directly inform and produce suggestions for the following year's programming.
This is a unique opportunity to directly impact the professional growth and success of your fellow AIA Oregon members. If you're passionate about professional development and eager to contribute to the future of our organization, we encourage you to express your interest.
Ready to make a difference? Please email Heather Wilson by July 15, 2025 to indicate your interest in joining the Professional Development Task Force.
We look forward to your valuable contributions!
