Fresh off the presses, read what AIA President Russ Davidson, FAIA, has to say about advocating for your profession.
As Russ - a long-time advocate for his home state chapter in New York - says, "When we invest the time and resources to advocate for smart policy, legislators do listen." He cites AIA's progress on energy tax incentives, student debt relief, historic preservation, and more.
In an election year when the public seems more disillusioned than ever with the political world, Russ' message that architects can actually make a difference is worth remembering.
