AIA Annual Convention
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.
