THE INTEGRATOR

Design.

Construction.

Community.

Let’s talk about it.

The AIANN Board of Directors is launching a new conceptual event series

which seeks to integrate various industry stakeholders to talk about the region’s built environment. As

we emerge from Covid it is apparent that dialog and collaboration are needed to unite the design and

construction industries to become more of an advocacy voice to harness the energy and momentum to

create something bigger and better for the city and region as a whole.

It is time to talk and Integrate our ideas and vision. The series is meant as a loose forum to bring

together the Architects, Interior Designers, Landscapers, Fabricators, Construction Industry, Developers,

Trades, City Officials and General Public to engage, talk and discuss what it is we as a City and a

Community want to see in our buildings, our local neighborhoods, our industrial areas, our suburban

sprawl, our art, our collective spaces. Where do we want to go? How do we want to do it? Let’s talk about it.

Please join us for an informal get-together/meeting to talk about the direction of the organization

~ What change do you want to see?

~ How do we best Integrate within our industry and the broader community in Reno?
~ Which events work? Which don't?
~ What topics do we want to focus on as a group?
~ Ideas for how to revitalize, change direction, strengthen our mission?

Come meet our new Managing Director, Gitte Russo!
