The uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic has forced us all to be more cautious in all we do, valuing each other and our families as we navigate into the unknown. 2021 also presented some challenges. However, each of those opportunities were met with optimism, and as an organization, we succeeded!

A very special thank you to Phil Haderlie of VCBO. He served AIA Utah under this transition, replacing our Executive Director, and spent countless hours ensuring the members were represented on so many fronts.
As we enter 2022, the new year, I want to focus on how AIA Utah serves its members, all 700 of you! We have a great organization that is always ready to represent, educate and serve the architectural community. The projects we undertake shape the communities in which we live and enhance lives. Architects are vital in solving social issues and enriching the built environment.

I look forward to meeting with the members and collaborating to enhance our profession. Thank you for placing your trust in the incoming board and me. Feel free to email me at robert.pinon@mhtn.com.
