September 2022 Chapter Meeting
February 2022 Chapter Meeting
Coffee or Walk on the Rotary Trail?
Hi AIA Family,
Do you have any idea how excited I am that we are back to face-to-face meetings?!?!?! I am doing my happy dance! Most of you know I love people and get my energy from being with people. And my favorite people are creatives, you give off the best energy. I have missed all of you. It is my goal to see each of you by the end of the year or at the very least have some type of one-on-one communication with you. I learned from COVID to appreciate spending time with you. I would love to catch up and hear how you are doing, where you are in life, what you learned from COVID, any new ideas for AIA, and just SEE you in person. Shoot me an email, call, or text and let’s get coffee or take a walk on the Rotary Trail.
I hope I see you at the June 22nd in PERSON, FACE to FACE chapter meeting at Evolutia. Yummy lunch catered by Tre Luna.
See you soon! Have a fun weekend and live grateful.
Peace & AIA Love,
Rhea Williams, Executive Director AIA Birmingham, Alabama Center for Architecture (ACFA)
