Bill Seider, AIA
bseider@pivotarchitecture.com
These next few years will be challenging for our profession, as we diligently work to recover from the latest economic crisis. I believe that my experience with AIA at the local, state and national levels has given me the passion and perspective to help guide us to a renewed prosperity. I am asking for your support, allowing me to serve as your representative.
I have been preparing for the role of regional director throughout my student and professional career. While participating in our region's "Emerald Vision" conference in Eugene last October, I was reminded of the amazing diversity, interests, passions and commitment that AIA members in our region share. During the last Region Business Meeting I realized then and there that I was finally ready for this assignment.
I am honored that the board of the AIA/Southwestern Oregon Chapter recently passed a unanimous resolution advancing my nomination for the director position. I have also received encouragement from past National Board Members, and several of the national staff from both AIA and NCARB who I have come to know through my activities as:
. Chapter President, AIA/SWO
. State Legislative VP, AIA/OR
. Board Member, AIA/OR
. Member AIA SGN
. Oregon Board of Architect Examiners member
. NCARB Western Region Board Member
. AIA Education Committee, a member for almost ten years, 2010 chair
. AIA Observer on the NCARB Professional Development Committee, 2010-2011
My history of professional service has given me perspective. Important and timely themes have emerged. I believe AIA must focus on the growth, knowledge and prosperity of our members. My interests span a wide gamut, from improving the way we practice to improving the places we practice in.
Architects bring value to every project and to all of our communities. This message is best told by a vibrant organization with a unified voice. We're professionally committed to bettering our built environment.
I want to hear what your thoughts are on these and other issues you believe the AIA should be addressing at the National Board level. Please contact me with your ideas and concerns. The NWPR has always had a unique outlook on architecture as we work to improve the quality of our communities.
