May: Broadening Impact and Visibility • The BEC-UT/COTE Spring Symposium offered a platform for building science and envelope design evolution and design discussions. • Members enjoyed a tour of the Salt Lake City Library’s renovated rooftop, learning about its architectural transformation. • A special session on what juries look for helped members prepare for award submissions. • Our annual Scholarship Golf Tournament raised funds for architecture students in Utah. • AIA Utah proudly hosted AIA National President Evelyn Lee, fostering direct dialogue between local and national leadership. Task Forces and Strategic Initiatives In alignment with our task forces for good initiative, three new task forces launched this year: • DFCM Design Standards Review Task Force • Affordable Housing Task Force • School Safety Task Force Each task force has been created to respond to real-time needs in the built environment, demonstrating how AIA Utah is helping shape policy and design standards that directly impact communities. Strengthening Communication and Culture This year saw the expansion of Punchlist, our events and opportunities bulletin, improving how we communicate with members and allied organizations. Punchlist and Reflexion serve as a hub for ongoing engagement. Programs like Dear Architect, our storytelling and mentorship platform, continue to deepen the sense of community and shared purpose across generations of architects. Looking Ahead With five months of robust activity behind us, AIA Utah remains focused on delivering even more value in the second half of 2025. From legislative advocacy to design tours and leadership development, every initiative underscores our commitment to a vibrant and inclusive architectural profession in Utah. Stay connected. Stay engaged. We’re building something meaningful — together. Building connections from concept to completion.™ crceng.com | (801) 466-1699 5
