We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.

Just as we can shape our buildings we can shape our profession, but only if we are involved with what keeps it professional. We are in the third quarter of 2018 and looking for nominations for next year’s Board members. Please pay attention for the Call for Nominations letter you will be receiving via email.

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY-VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY
|
|
|
We are happy to announce that the AIA | Habitat for Humanity T-shirt Design Competition was a success! Thank you to those who stepped up, participated, and submitted great designs. Also thank you to the judges, Eve Williams and Ivan Johnson for choosing a winning design that we can all be proud to wear during our Volunteer Builds. Ultimately, two designs were chosen and asked to collaborate into one cohesive design. The judges felt the two were graphically eye-catching while still conveying all the right information - “Letting our community know who we are and what we’re here to do.”
We hope you will join us in our excitement to participate in this Volunteer effort while sporting our Volunteer T-shirts.
