One of our signature legislative events for you as a member to get to know your legislators by sharing the impact and challenges of your profession and a few key issues that need your voice. Sign ups for District Days are taking place over here\, so don’t forget to register! \nHow to Prepare\nTo help you prepare\, join us for a webinar on Wednesday\, July 28 at 12 pm to prep all participants for their meetings with a breakdown of a few priority issues. In the meantime\, stream 2019’s webinar outlining best practices for meetings and the 2021 Architects Tele-Action Day webinar to refresh yourself on some of the key issues. District Days give members the opportunity to share their professional “proof points” and project narratives with legislators to introduce them to the broad scope of the architects’ skillset and practice. The goal is to have elected officials walk away from these meetings with an understanding of the ways architects can act as a resource for them in all matters related to the built environment that touch the health\, safety\, and welfare of their constituents. With infrastructure being at the top of everyone’s mind\, now is the best time to remind legislators and staffers that buildings are infrastructure and before they are built\, they have to be designed. \n\nREGISTER FOR THE PRIMER \n\nREGISTER FOR DISTRICT DAYS URL:https://aiapa.org/event/district-days-primer/ CATEGORIES:Legislative,Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210730 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210731 DTSTAMP:20210723T171747 CREATED:20210625T171846Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210625T172059Z UID:13314-1627603200-1627689599@aiapa.org SUMMARY:Present at the 2021 Virtual Tri-State Conference DESCRIPTION:AIA New Jersey\, AIA New York State\, and AIA Pennsylvania are proud to announce the 2021 Virtual Tri-State Conference on December 8\, 9\, & 10. The three states have come together once again to share ideas and technologies that are redefining our industry. \nThis year’s conference will be designed to offer defined educational sessions that highlight ways that architects are leading the way in the following concentrations. Creative ideas will be considered in all areas\, including\, but not limited to the suggested topics below: \nSustainability\nSmall Firms\nLeadership & Emerging Professionals \n\nFirm\nCommunity\nOrganizations with a focus of equity\, diversity & inclusion.\n\nIn the spirit of inclusion\, we encourage you to consider the importance of diversity in geography\, ethnicity\, gender\, and experience when selecting potential speakers and panelists. Simply hearing someone say “I believe you are a great fit for the topic” can be a great confidence builder for a potential speaker and giving less recognized voices a platform to speak helps elevate us all. We hope you take this into consideration by carefully selecting who may enhance the value of your presentation. \nRating Criteria for Each Proposal: \n\nOriginality | It is essential that we offer attendees unique and insightful sessions to fulfill a learning program that reflects our evolving and dynamic community/industry.\nRelevance | AIANYS\, AIANJ and AIAPA seek session content that is applicable and transferable representing diverse perspectives and solutions to support the advancement of association professionals energy\, time\, and investment.\nProgram Design | AIANYS\, AIANJ and AIAPA seek sessions that incorporate good practices for adult education with clear learning objectives/outcomes that are measurable and achievable.\nAbility to Inspire Action | AIANYS\, AIANJ and AIAPA seek content leaders who offer diverse capabilities – inspiration\, subject matter expertise\, facilitation skills\, and the ability to evoke action. We want participants to return to their respective firms to implement and share what they learned.\nOverall Quality | AIANYS\, AIANJ and AIAPA are dedicated to ensuring that all the conference sessions meet the highest standards of excellence based on: originality\, relevance\, program design\, and the ability to inspire action.\n\nPresentation Format \nSeminars will be 90 minutes in duration. We will be hosting this event virtually and appreciate your flexibility in regards to format. Each speaker and/or panel member must be listed separately with all contact information provided. If you feel you have a dynamic three hour workshop that you feel applicable\, please contact Michael Cocca at mcocca@aianys.org to discuss your proposal. \nAIANYS\, AIANJ & AIAPA will retain a complete set of materials (including PowerPoint presentations\, handouts\, and a list of samples) on file for each seminar. Seminar and workshop presenters will be required to submit a master copy of their visual presentation materials in electronic format for CES review at least 6 weeks prior to the presentation for review of relevance of content\, learning objectives and appropriate required information. \nContinuing Education Submittal \nOnce selected\, AIANYS will submit your program to the American Institute of Architects CES to ensure that the appropriate LUs and HSW credits within AIA and New York mandatory education guidelines are applied and to avoid any possible confusion of credit. \nSpeaker Technology Requirements \nWe ask all speakers have a quiet area to present\, a room with adequate lighting\, a good quality webcam\, and a microphone with satisfactory sound quality. Speakers are asked to make time for a run-through prior to the event to check all technology requirements. \nEvaluations \n\nThe final step in the program design and delivery process is evaluation. To better implement future programming\, participants will evaluate your session on the following criteria:\nHow well did the content match the published description?\nHow clearly stated were the learning objectives and were they met?\nHow effective were the uploaded material and did they add value?\nHow fulfilled were the attendees’ expectations?\nHow valuable was the topic to the attendee?\n\nSpeaker Selection \nPrograms will be selected by a jury of architects and other experts in the design and construction profession. The deadline for submission is July 30\, 2021. After the deadline\, the jury will meet to deliberate on programs that fit the criteria of the conference and speakers will be contacted shortly thereafter. \nLEARN MORE & SUBMIT BY JULY 30 URL:https://aiapa.org/event/present-at-the-2021-virtual-tri-state-conference/ CATEGORIES:Conference,Continuing Education,Virtual Event END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210801 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210901 DTSTAMP:20210723T171747 CREATED:20210706T125811Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210713T145125Z UID:13432-1627776000-1630454399@aiapa.org SUMMARY:2021 District Days DESCRIPTION:Right to left: Sean Douty\, John Beddia\, Elysia Mikkelsen\, Jeff Straub (all of Crabtree Rohrbaugh & Associates) meet with Senator Mike Regan in 2019 for District Days; Marc Mondor meets with Representative Edward Gainey (Pittsburgh’s likely Mayor-elect)\nMeet & Greet Your Elected Officials\nDistrict Days returns this summer!

Your support of the PAC enables AIA Pennsylvania to speak with a unified voice to educate and impact the legislature on the issues important to the practice of architecture in Pennsylvania as well as the health\, safety\, and welfare of Pennsylvania communities as touched by the practice. Your contribution to the PAC will assure that we can have important conversations communicating our issues to advocate for PA architects' needs. As the adage goes\, "If you're not at the table\, you're on the menu." Let's ensure architects are at the table by reinforcing the crumbling PAC. All PAC donors will receive a PAC Pin\, designed by 2019 AIA PA President\, Chip Desmone\, AIA. $20 is the suggested investment in your profession but any donation is key for rebuilding the PAC.\n\n\n*Contributions to Pennsylvania Architects PAC are not tax deductible for federal income tax purposes.

An explanation will be made of the construction cost model\, which accurately evaluates the relative construction cost of a multi-family building constructed using different construction materials including wood\, steel\, masonry\, precast and ICF. This new study addresses the initial cost of construction a common multi-family residential building based on the 2015 International Building Code designed using the balanced design approach. \nWHEN: August 5th at 1:00 pm \nThis course has been approved for 1 AIA LU|HSW \nREGISTER HERE\n\nAPG UNIVERSITY ONLINE\nPresented by Echelon Masonry \nJoin us bi-weekly for AIA-accredited webinars on modern solutions to the most pressing challenges in architecture\, presented by experts from across the industry.
