The AIA AAH Regional Initiatives Committee’s mission is to assist regional groups of healthcare architects in establishing or enhancing local programs providing knowledge sharing events.
Local chapters are sprouting in Jacksonville, Nashville, Washington, DC and elsewhere. Partnerships with the ACHA are leading toward the formation of a comprehensive pool of experts that our local chapters can pull from when they are developing programs and content for their regional neighbors.
We like to think we help to connect the dots. But we still have a lot of work to do!
Over the coming year, we are looking to provide more ways for regions to connect and learn from one-another. We are working to establish an interactive calendar so that access to information and events will be more readily available to all AAH members. And we hope to encourage more local chapter formations.
Our goal to promote knowledge sharing is a foundation of our Committee and we are optimistic that our efforts will continue to provide inspiration and learning opportunities for the youngest to the oldest members of our architecture and health community.
