YAF 15 Summit: Outcomes
 

The YAF 15 Summit brought together leaders of the architecture profession from all levels to celebrate 15 years of achievements of the YAF. The summit provided a forum for attendees to engage in dialogue about issues facing the unique demographic of young architects in today’s profession. Together, the group re-examined what AIA members are facing in the profession and developed ways to provide support and programming for the future leaders.

Outcomes
The attendees of the YAF 15 Summit developed a top ten list of issues that the YAF should address in the next 15 years. They are:

1. Mentorship
2. Human Capital
3. Leadership/Interaction Skills
4. Practice Management
5. Increasing Credibility
6. Responsibility of the Architect
7. Outreach
8. Work/Life Balance
9. Integrated Practice
10. Technical Skills

Group members chose to work together on the first six topics to develop work plans for each topic centered around the affect on the individual, the firm, the profession and the community.
