AIA DE 2008 Board of Directors

New Executive Director:  The committee made a final selection and took its recommendation to your board of directors on April 15, 2008, and, with unanimous support, offer the position of executive director to Nancy Payne. Through the generosity of her previous employer, Moeckel Carbonell Associates, Nancy has been working with AIA Delaware for a number of months on an as needed basis. She has been around the architectural community here in Delaware, for several years now, first with Bernardon Haber Holloway Architects and then Moeckel Carbonell. Before that, her responsibilities expanded to ultimately include revamping several components of a large company.  Nancy is ready to hit the ground running, she has great enthusiasm and, as you hear through the
grapevine, describes her strength in one phrase: “happy/tenacity.” She will now start working in earnest with the Revitalization Committee to debate the great ideas that are surfacing, to test those ideas, and to implement them in a timely fashion.
Again, please welcome Nancy Payne, your new AIA Delaware executive director.

ABC-AIA Partnering Committee
Click here for whitepapers

For several years, a number of AIA DE chapter members have been active participants in a group known as the ABC-AIA Partnering Committee, which has provided a forum for discussing topics of common interest to owners, contractors and design professionals in the delivery of construction projects. Membership includes ABC Delaware and various large regional project or property owners (Delaware Department of Administrative Services, University of Delaware, Delaware River & Bay Authority, Christiana Care, New Castle County, Diamond State Port Corporation, Delaware Tech, City of Wilmington, Brandywine School District, Red Clay School District).  After extensive study and discussion, the committee has developed a number of best practices recommendations for the benefit of all project participants and the Delaware construction community at large, in the areas of:

#1, Record Drawings
#2, Electronic Documents
#3, Requests for Information (RFIs)
#4, Special Inspections

AIA DE wishes to thank the various chapter members who have contributed their time and energy to this ongoing effort.
