The AIA Vision program was an excellent opportunity to expand my knowledge of how the business of architecture really works.  Being exposed to so many firm leaders and great local and national experts was a unique experience that I will continue to draw upon for many years to come.  This program is raising the bar for architecture in our city and I feel very fortunate to have been a part of its inaugural year.
