Golf Outing Committee
As I enter the second year of my 2-year term as your Regional Associate Director (RAD), I have a question for my fellow Associate AIANJ members. Who’s next?
That’s right; AIANJ and the National Associates Committee (NAC) need a motivated individual who’s willing to take on some extra responsibilities.
As RAD for AIANJ, you will be required to attend the annual National Associates Committee meeting, (usually the last weekend in October) and Grassroots convention in February. Both of these events occur in Washington, DC and will require “out of office” time.
You will also take part in monthly NAC conference calls to discuss recent national issues as well as give and receive regional updates. These call last about an hour and don’t require any “out of office” time.
Since you are representing AIANJ and its Associate members, you should also plan on attending AIANJ Board of Trustee meetings. These meetings occur approximately six times a year, in the evening.
I know it may sound like a lot, but it’s your opportunity to help the voice of the Associate membership be heard. You will meet other individuals with similar goals from all across the country and in turn, create relationships that will last throughout your professional career.
If you are interested, or now of an Associate level member who is, please have them e-mail me there contact information at: jacradnj@aol.com.

Enjoy the Holidays,
John A. Cwikla, Associate AIA
