Dear CLE Members,
Greetings from the AIA’s Committee on Leadership Education
… or “CLE”!
Official Knowledge Community Status for the
CLE
As the incoming 2008 Chair of the CLE, I want to
“officially” welcome you to the Committee on Leadership
Education, which was granted full Knowledge Community status during
the October meeting of the Board Knowledge Community (BoKnoCo).
This milestone underscores the importance, which we all know
exists, of the developement of leadership skills for architects,
and has truly reinforced our mission!
Recognition and Thanks
Two members or our Advisory Group are stepping down, Kevin Flynn,
AIA (2007 Chair), and Karen ‘K.C.’ Harrison (CACE
Liaison). They deserve our gratitude and thanks for their work in
developing this community.
Help Build a Community
At some point over the past year, you indicated an interest in the
Committee on Leadership Education and what it has to offer. Is it
fulfilling the need you thought it would? What has worked for
you?
2008 Projects
Efforts to continue the CLE as an active, beneficial network of
individuals interested in leadership education (or
‘educating’) through electronic (as well as face to face)
communications and ultimately sharing our experiences and concerns
are just getting started. Note: the Research Sub-committee needs
additional volunteers. More details are available, so please let us
know if you would be more interested in becoming more involved with
this aspect of the community.
Share to Build this Community
As a member of the CLE, you recognize the importance of leadership
skills, resources and knowledge for architects. However, we are now
at a crossroads, at which we seek the best possible method for
communicating these three aspects to all of you. Toward that end,
we offer the following tools and resources:
