Dear BOD,
Our chapter has had numerous requests from architectural firms for in house training sessions for their staff. Some of these are the result of an ad campaign by AWI national, who then referred them to NEAWI, others simply sought out our chapter.
NEAWI outreach committee is committed to fulfilling these requests, as am I. With your help, we can reach out to the architectural community and help our industry improve. AWI 's focus has always been education and I think it is vital for our chapter to get involved. We owe it to ourselves and our industry to train the next generation.
AWI national has developed a program based on the QSI. Each section is broken down into modules, can be covered in a 45 min "lunch and learn" session and qualifies for 1 learning credit. These can be presented very easily and the design firm can request which section best fits their needs.
Following the board meeting on October 17th @ 11:00 am we will have a representative from AWI national on hand to "train the trainers". The location will be in our Cambridge office and should last approxmately 4 hours. Our goal is to have approximately 10-15 individuals trained to do "lunch and learns". This number will allow us to call on an individual only once or twice per year.
I hope to see every board member there and encourage you to bring someone from the general membership. Please rsvp to tye.waller@neawi.org.
Regards,
John Ianiri
