AIA Convention Was A Hit!
Last year, the Alabama Council leadership set a goal to increase the participation of architects at the annual convention
by 10%. We doubled it, we had 23 Associates participate and
an ARE prep course. The success was attributable to the convenient location in the middle of the state, the diverse mix of
topics and the reduction in registration fees.
We want to especially thank Robin White and the Alabama
Power Company for all of their work and support to ensure
the success of the convention. We want to thank Convention
Committee Chairman Hal Gandy & committee members Phil
Black, David Blackmon, Ty Cole, Nic Gray, Jim Griffo, Sommerville Hill, Robert Sproull & Danny Trotter.
