Putting Your Stamp on the Built Environment

How can you as an architect impact policy, planning and development? How can you elevate and integrate sustainability and equity into our built environment? The answer is: public service. Here are a few examples:

• Private practice, changing the built-environment, one project at a time
• Public service, changing the built-environment by regulating what architects do
• Elected or appointed positions, changing the built-environment by making the policies that set the regulations governing how architect’s practice and what architects can build
• Advocating on a specific issues, changing the built-environment by influencing policy-makers.

Join AIACV’s Civic Engagement Team for a lively discussion exploring the various paths architects within our Chapter have taken and how they have impacted our built environment.
