Program Overview
AIA Cincinnati’s Local Advocacy Working Group would like to hear directly from you about your priorities and where we can have the most impact.
This virtual workshop will use display-thinking tools to help prioritize our local agenda and activities for the coming years. The session includes a virtual “post-it exercise” to identify community priorities and themes followed by a “Start/Stop/Keep” exercise.
Additionally, we hope this serves as an opportunity to hear from a wider range of architectural professionals who may be interested in advocacy but are unable to join our regular meetings.
This is the third workshop in a series AIA Cincinnati’s Local Advocacy Working Group is hosting this year. Following the completion of the workshops, a summary of the findings will be shared with participants and AIA Cincinnati Membership.
While you’re in an advocacy mindset, have you registered for AIA Ohio’s Advocacy Day on April 30 in Columbus or donated to the AIA Ohio PAC?
