Strategic Council Update - April 2025

STUDY GROUP UPDATES

Representatives from the Strategic Council are sharing study group updates on the AIA Leadership Exchange calls throughout the week of March 17. See the attached slides from these calls for updates on each group’s big idea, work in progress, and what’s on the horizon.

ENHANCE YOUR SUSTAIN-ABILITIES

The future is now when it comes to facing challenges related to extreme weather conditions around the globe. Our 2025 Climate Responsive Design & Leadership Study Group has created a monthly ‘Climate Corner’ 2-pager to offer actionable steps anyone can take today and reminders of key resources that exist to assist your efforts. This month’s topic: Water is a Design & Equity Opportunity can be downloaded here.
