In 2017, the AIA Virginia Board of Directors was advised by committees and the following councils: Communications and Outreach, Government Advocacy, and Professional Excellence. Each Council is chaired by a Vice President which leads charges annually in according with the current Strategic Plan. As an “end of the year summary” we thought we would share the work of these councils as presented at the annual membership meeting, Nov. 2, 2017, at Architecture Exchange East.
Communications and Outreach
Chaired by Vice President, Rob Reis, AIA
This Council is responsible for reviewing and advising in program areas that include all AIA Virginia publications, press relations, website presence, as well as our outreach program. The latter area is largely fulfilled through The Branch Museum of Architecture and Design programming.
