26th Annual AIA Gainesville Scholarship “Scramble” Golf Tournament
April 9, 2010
12:00 pm
Circa 1983 a group of five AIA Gainesville chapter members along with construction industry associates gathered to discuss and form a golf tournament expressly to raise scholarship funds for architecture students at the University of Florida. The original sponsoring groups were the AIA (AIA Gainesville), Associated General Contractors (AGC), and the Producers Council (PC) of Jacksonville (since disbanded). Over the years the AIA / AIA Gainesville has become the sole title entity.
The original golf committee was recognized during the Silver Anniversary Tournament in April of 2009. The original mission of the tournament was to contribute 100% of the profit from the tournament to the funding of the scholarships. To this day all profits have been funding an initial twenty thousand dollar endowment established under the Chapter name with the University of Florida Foundation. That endowment is fully funded and the account shows nearly a total of $100,000 in contributed funds.
The annual Golf Tournament will be held on Friday, April 9, 2010 with registration at noon and a “shotgun” start at 1:00pm at the Haile Plantation Golf and Country Club (9905 SW 44th Avenue Gainesville, Florida 32608 - Golf Shop Phone #352-335-0055).
The fees are as follows:
Golf only $60.00/ player
Dinner only $40.00/ person
Golf & Dinner $85.00/ player
Sponsorships: Gold - $600.00 including golf and dinner for four players; Silver- $450.00 including golf and dinner for one player.
Gold and Silver sponsors will have company signage at tee and recognition in handouts and awards presentation.
Bronze - $350.00 - Includes recognition in handouts and awards presentation
Beverage Sponsor - $450.00
Hole-In-One Sponsor - $450.00 signage at $10,000 hole-in-one hole and at additional four bonus holes

AIA Annual Convention
July 29, 2009 - August 1, 2009
This year, AIA Florida is introducing the “Bring a Mentor” program as part of the 2009 Annual Convention. This great new program is a way for us to continue our strategic planning vision of building the pipeline and reaching out to students. We currently have about 20 University of South Florida architecture students interested in participating, but they need a mentor.
That’s where you can help. As a member of the AIA Florida board of directors and your local component’s leadership, you can make a difference in the profession, your life, and the life of a future architect and “Bring a Student” to the Convention. Your student will be your shadow for the duration of the Convention, and attend CE sessions, the tradeshow and the President’s Design Awards Reception. You will also receive a 10% discount on your registration if you participate in this program, and your student will attend for free (hotel expenses are not included).
If you would like to participate in this mentorship program and mentor a USF architecture student, or add your name to a list of available mentors for other university students, please contact Lisa O’Donnell at (850) 222-7590, or lodonnell@aiafla.org.
