Statement: I am interested in serving the design community as treasurer with the <strong>AIA</strong><br />
<strong>Central</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> <strong>Board</strong> of Directors to help improve our understanding of the built<br />
environment. By serving as a current Director for the <strong>Central</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> Chapter, I found the<br />
dialogue between architects, engineers, contractors and the community can have a<br />
positive impact on the built environment. Being the Treasurer provides an excellent<br />
opportunity to broaden the potential impact of such collaboration. If elected, I would<br />
bring an enduring commitment, organizational skills and an aspiration to engage the<br />
entire community to the <strong>Board</strong> of Directors.<br />

Statement: The <strong>AIA</strong> is the voice of the architectural profession. As the profession<br />
continues to struggle within the worst economy in 80 years with pressure to change the<br />
way we practice accelerating, we need the <strong>AIA</strong>CV to be a strong advocate and resource<br />
for us. We have many common interests: architectural design, sustainable design,<br />
integrated project delivery, LEAN principles, and building information modeling. To be<br />
effective, the <strong>AIA</strong> must be relevant to its members, but the bigger challenge may be for<br />
us to remain relevant to our communities. This is an important dialogue to have and I<br />
am very pleased to have the opportunity to be part of it.<br />
