Program Overview

Join Ohio’s Small Firm Exchange (SFx) representative Sarah Kleiner, AIA for a virtual SFx coffee chats where small firm leaders can engage with one another, discuss issues facing small firms today, and see what the AIA can do to support Ohio’s small firms. Virtual chats will take place 8:30-9 a.m. monthly—even months on the third Thursday, odd months on the third Tuesday.

The mission of the Small Firm Exchange (SFx) is to advance the mutual interests of architects practicing in small firms. SFx representatives connect small firm leaders in their local and state components to the national organization. AIA members practicing in small firms are encouraged to reach out to Sarah to discuss how the AIA could better support their practice. 

Sarah is a principal at Envisage Architecture LLC, in Cincinnati, a firm she co-founded in 2016. They have seven employees that range from part-time to full-time. Their practice focuses on commercial projects, particularly retail, as well as multi-family projects. They are currently renovating their own LEED Silver multi-family, multi-use building that will include 11 apartments with their office on the first floor.
