The AIA recognizes a Citizen Architect as an AIA member that applies their design insights, talents and training to advance leadership, advocacy, and civic engagement, and within their community strives to be the voice of the profession to other members in the general public.

Join us at our March Section Meeting to learn how local section members are putting the idea of Citizen Architect into practice and how you can engage with the AIAO structure to become more active as well. Hear from members who attended the Oregon and National Leadership Summits in February, as well as from the AIA Oregon Legislative Affairs committee as they discuss issues of interest to local architects.

Speakers:

• Kaarin Knudson, AIA, Mayor of Eugene - Presenting the architectural priorities for her term

• Heather Wilson, AIAO EVP/CEO and Cindy Robert, Lobbyist - Current AIAO Legislative efforts

• Isaac Hadnutt, Associate AIA - AIA 2025 Leadership Summit Recap

Appetizers and your first drink provided by AIA Eugene.

Free for members, $15 for non-members.
