Corporate Learning and Conference/Convention Centers Subcommittee

2009 Subcommittee Chair: Stuart Pettitt, AIA
Visit the Corporate Learning and Conference/Convention Centers Subcommittee LinkedIn Group.

This subcommittee has a diverse group of 12 members from 10 different states and 2 foreign countries. Probably the smallest of the Subcommittees, because of the more specific building types, we are looking for a few more active volunteer members.

Our first task is to develop a list of pertinent topics to discuss and research as the basis of our subcommittee efforts. Corporate Learning and Conference/Convention Centers seem to be particularly relevant Educational Building Types in lieu of today’s constantly evolving economic climate. This is a great opportunity to help add to the CAE member’s knowledge base.

Museums, Interpretive Centers and Libraries Subcommittee
