Elections!

It's that time of year again--
The time when we start thinking about who is going to take things over for next year!

At our next all-member meeting, this Wednesday, March 15th at 5pm in Alumni Room 1, we will re-introduce our exec board and tell you about what we do. If you are interested in running for a position, even if you have never served on an exec board before, come check it out and see if it's for you!

(You can also sit in on any of our exec meetings, which meet every Monday at 5pm in the breakout room off of the research lab studio/wind tunnel.)

From my personal experience, I think its fair to say that I've learned just as much from my positions in AIAS than I have from most of my classes. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at pytlikse@muohio, or talk to any of our current exec members:

(Here's a run down)

Chapter President - Sarah Pytlik

Vice President - Stephen Young

Treasurer - Cameron Konop

Secretary -  McKinley Mertz

Social Chairs - Rachel Momenee & Meagan Calnon

Freedom By Design Chair - Mary Dickerson

Fundraising Chair - Kendall Claus & Anna Adkins

Graphics - Carolyn LeCompte & Gabrielle Steffel

Fall Quad Chairs - Tyler Rice & Anna Adkins

Blog/Website - Jenni Cahill

Firm Coordinators - Tyler Rice, Jeff Kloosterman & Meredith Miller

Class Representatives - Hannah Pempus, Juan Restrepo, Julia Munro, Kris Kunkle, Michelle Parrish & Mike Bednar, Tiffany Jenkins

Also,...

keep in mind that there are NATIONAL AIAS (PAID) POSITIONS that you can run for each winter at FORUM. We haven't had anyone from Miami run in the past two years, but three years ago, our past president Brett Roeth was elected as National Vice President, and served for a year in Washington, DC. Not only is this is a real post-grad job opportunity, but it's a great way to progress within the profession and network before you take the next step. This isn't immediate, but it's something to think about long-term, and you would need exec board experience within the AIAS in order to run.

See you on Wednesday!
