COTE Network Update
By Bunny Tucker, AIA, CPHD
The COTE Network will host its second quarterly call of the year on Tuesday May 7, 2024 at 2:00 pm ET. The discussion, titled “New Chapters, Old Chapters, and Everything In Between” will focus on the work taking place in various regions. Join us for case studies from AIA South Carolina COTE (Mason Malsegna), AIA Indiana COTE (Daniel Overbey, Joe Yount, Reva Derhammer), AIA San Antonio COTE (Benjamin Rosas, Sandra Montalbo), and AIA Philly COTE (Roshni Krishnan, Katherine Urbaniak, Danielle Fleischmann). Group discussions will focus on big questions that COTE Chapters are facing: How to increase participation? How to start fundraising? How to successfully plan events? and How to approach policy & advocacy work? The Quarterly Call will be followed by COTE Office Hours from 3:00-3:30 pm ET.
