As AIA President-Elect, my focus is to shape a future-ready AIA built on five core priorities:

Unity & Trust in the Institute

Rebuild trust by creating two-way communication channels, a standing Component Council, and inclusive decision-making structures.

Economic Resilience for Members

Support members through real-time economic data, small firm resources, business training, and scenario planning tools.

Equity & Belonging in Practice

Advance people-first design strategies, support cultural competency, and invest in underrepresented leaders across all practice settings.

Climate Action with Design Impact

Position architects as leaders in resilience by embedding ESG frameworks and scaling sustainable, community-led design.

Expanding Professional Relevance

Open pathways to interdisciplinary collaboration, grow leadership capacity, and ensure architecture is seen as essential, not expendable.
