Political Outreach Committee
Last Updated: Feb 11, 2010
The AIA/LA Political Outreach Committee meets on the second Tuesday of each month at AIA Los Angeles, unless otherwise noted. Participation is open to all AIA members interested in design advocacy.
The AIA/LA Political Outreach Committee (POC) MISSION STATEMENT
To help establish a political voice for architects and perform outreach to policy makers and elected officials on matters of importance to AIA/LA and its membership.
Goals and Objectives
Develop policy positions on matters related to the built environment, urban design, and the practice of architecture. The POC can serve both as a catalyst that initiates new policy and as an advocate and advisor that encourages and promotes proposed City policies already in development.
Strategies
• Develop relationships and dialogue with policy makers and elected officials through annual Legislative Day.
• Continue to contact, schedule, and follow up on meetings with key City officials throughout the year
• Reinforce relationships and outreach through Breakfast Receptions and other hosted events
• Advocate for AIA members to be appointed to Boards and Commissions
• Filter issues and actions brought forward to the Chapter by its members and act in an advisory capacity to the Board on potential actions to take.
Co-Chairs: Jim Favaro and Roger Sherman
