Dear Colleagues and Friends,

As I step into the role of President for the AAa/e, I am deeply honored and energized by the opportunity to serve this vibrant community. Together, we have the talent and determination to shape a future that reflects our shared values and ambitions.

My focus for this term centers on two key priorities:

1. Framework for Growth: By recognizing the creation of local chapters, we can expand our reach and foster deeper connections within our community. These chapters will serve as vital platforms for networking, mentorship, and resource sharing, empowering members to collaborate and grow professionally.
2. Supporting Small Business Growth: Small businesses are a cornerstone of our community’s success. This year, we will launch targeted initiatives aimed at strengthening entrepreneurial ventures and ensuring their sustainability.

These priorities reflect our commitment to building a stronger, more unified organization that meets the needs of its members while advancing our collective impact.

I invite you to actively participate in our programs, share your ideas, and contribute your expertise. Your involvement is essential to realizing our vision and driving meaningful progress.

Thank you for trusting me with this leadership role. Together, let’s make this a transformative year for AAa/e and the communities we serve.

Warm regards,

Michael Chang, AIA, DBIA, LFA, LEED AP, CASp, NCARB, CDT
