CHAIR OF THE BOARD’S MESSAGE

Another year of growth and evolution of the Institute occurred throughout the 2022 calendar year. As we have emerged from the pandemic, we have found ourselves in a new normal. The workplace is forever changed and issues of diversity, accessibility, and sustainability are as important to our membership as procurement, education and professional standards. The Institute and our incredible staff continue to support the vast number of our member volunteers, committees and chapters, as we collectively help define the changing face of architecture and share the importance of our profession to the wider society.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend a giant thank you to all staff and members alike, for your unwavering contributions. In particular, I would like to thank Barry Whitmore for his enormous and tireless contribution as Interim CEO, and to outgoing President Shannon Battisson for her extraordinary leadership, patience and integrity. Welcome to new President Stuart Tanner, and to our new CEO Cameron Bruhn. The Institute is in good hands.
