@aiabrazos AIA Brazos is an incredibly active, volunteer-led chapter, with a dedication to supporting @txarchitects Texas Society of Architects Government Affairs Advocacy and the Texas Architects Committee (TAC). We had a great turnout for their annual President-elect dinner and I enjoyed getting to meet many members, especially a large group of associate members! President, Ashton Holliday AIA, RID went above and beyond to make @beckest Becky Walker and me feel welcomed. She even had placecard trivia! Ever wondered my approach to leadership?
