Program Overview

Architects are impacted by decisions made at the local level even more than at the national level. AIA Cincinnati doesn’t have a PAC or lobbyists, but we have 490 members in nine counties. What are the issues in your neighborhood or community? How can you advocate for the issues that impact you? 

Once you’ve met with an elected or civil official, how do you continue the conversation and build a relationship? 

This 30 minute program with Stephanie Lamore, Sr. Manager, Advocacy with The American Institute of Architects in Washington D.C. will walk you through the steps to effective relationship building with civic leaders.
