Beyond Repositioning: It's Time for Reconstruction

AIA San Francisco Board of Directors


In response to the National AIA’s repositioning efforts, first announced at Grassroots in March, 2013, the AIA San Francisco Board of Directors has developed several recommendations on how to generate substantive organizational change. It is the fundamental belief of the AIASF Board that it is time to consider a different organizational model for the design profession, to lead change, and create a more relevant and efficient organization. The Board of Directors of AIASF has shared these ideas with other chapters and National leaders and looks forward to continuing the conversation with you at 5:00 pm on November 14 at the Annual Member Party.
