Hello Colleagues –Fellows Members,
Today I’m writing with a simple message: PARTICIPATE.
There’s a small, very low-key election happening next week, and, while you’ve probably missed it (because nobody is talking about it anywhere), there are some very key issues at play that could affect practice for architects, engineers, contractors – really business owners of all kinds. We might do well to at least know what’s going on. I don’t know who to attribute the quote to, but as the saying goes in politics, “if you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu.”
