Section News

If you missed out on the Mark Hutker Lecture on February 18th, you missed a good one! More than 75 members of the Eastern Section community including AIANC Eastern Section members, East Carolina University students from Construction Management, Architectural Design, and Interior Design as well as members of the local community came out to hear a presentation from Mark Hutker.

Your Executive Board has been active early in this New Year. Linda Boylan, Eastern Section President Elect, has collaborated with Jamie McKay of AIANC Triangle to help organize a leadership outreach program targeted to the development of young architects. It is funded through an AIA Emerging Professionals Grant and the AIANC Foundation, and is entitled "TEAM," which stands for Training Emerging Architects through Mentorship.

The AIANC Eastern Section would like to thank all of your for making our annual Scholarship Golf Tournament such a great success. The golf tournament will be held again this year in April, with specific dates and information to be announced soon.

Hello, All!

The AIANC Eastern Section Executive Board hopes you had a safe and happy New Year, and we are happy to announce the Section's 2013 Calendar.

Highlights of the attached calendar include:

February 18th: Mark Hutker Lecture @ East Carolina University. Please see the "Coming Events" section for more details about this great event!

March 2013: The Eastern Section is bringing back our Awards Competition for 2013! More details to come.

How can the American Institute of Architects benefit you?

On the National level this is an easy question to answer. The AIA is strong in its leadership and guidance for professional architects. They are advocates for building healthy communities, presenting green building technologies, promoting good public policy, and providing journals and educational opportunities to keep our profession vibrant and current.

As of the writing of this report, the New Year has quietly settled in on all of us.  I would not be surprised if many are quite eager to leave 2011 far behind and instead look forward to opportunities yet to be revealed.  Rest assured that the “State of our Section is Strong,” to borrow a familiar rally line.  Our membership has remained steadfast in number despite the challenges, with 65 architect members, 17 associate members and 20 emeritus memb
