AIA members are invited to join the Grassroots leadership conference in DC tomorrow by participating in a Virtual Capitol Hill Day.
The AIA San Mateo County 2019 President Juliet Hsu, 2019 President-Elect Zeden Jones, and Executive Director, Jackie Tanner will be in Washington, DC visiting members of Congress and sharing the AIA National message on school safety and sustainability. We need your help to amplify this message!
On Wednesday March 6, AIA members can use this virtual portal and communicate with California lawmakers on the priority requests identified by AIA National:
- Energy efficiency: amend the federal tax code to target energy efficient technology on existing commercial and multifamily buildings.
- School safety: authorize design services to be an eligible use of funding in existing federal grants that support school security and establish a federal clearinghouse of resources and school design best practice for school officials to access.
Use the AIA’s Virtual Capitol Hill Day portal to review these issues and quickly send a message to your California Representatives via email or Twitter. Join the conversation on social media by following #citizenarchitect.
