“You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” — Martin Luther King, Jr.
In my first days as President, I envisioned a re-energized organization with a focus on Values, Visibility, and Voice, the pillars of synergistic leadership. As we enter the second half of the year, we've made significant strides, including forming new sections in Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America, hosting a successful Spring Conference, and initiating key collaborations and proposals.
At AIA24, we celebrated AIA International sections and design award winners, discussed our vision for Value, Visibility, and Voice, honored past and present presidents, and announced the establishment of AIA Latin America and AIA Sub-Sahara Africa sections. The event concluded with the announcement of bids for the AIA International Conference 2025 in Berlin and Colombo, with the winner to be revealed later.
AIA International members have launched INNOVATION Architecture in Coral Gables, Florida, led by principals Gustavo Ribeiro, Steven Miller, and Ed Mayer II, who collectively bring over 40 years of global architectural and planning experience.
The firm is already engaged in major projects in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Miami, specializing in steel volumetric modular systems and urban planning.
At the annual business meeting at AIA24 in Washington, DC, on June 5th, proposed bylaws amendments regarding membership categories, including a notable proposal to change 'International Associate' to 'Internationally Licensed Architectural Professional,' were discussed but none passed, with plans to refine these proposals for next year's meeting.
