SUMMARY:AIA Book Club: Human Transit
DESCRIPTION:Designing Conversations:\nAIA Hawai’i Book Club (2 HSWs)\nEach quarter\, we’ll gather around a book tangential to architecture-think design\, culture\, place\, history\, climate\, or the forces that shape the built environment in unexpected ways. The event features a compelling guest speaker who will draw out the book’s big ideas and connect them to practice in Hawaiʻi\, all hosted at a cool\, thoughtfully chosen venue. \nWhether you’ve read every page\, skimmed the introduction\, or are just coming for the conversation\, the AIA Hawaiʻi Book Club is about shared curiosity and expanding how we think about our work and our world. \n\n			Book Club Q2: Human Transit	\n	For our second Book Club\, we have chosen “Human Transit: How clearer thinking about public transit can enrich our communities and our lives.” by Jarrett Walker. \nTransportation expert Jarrett Walker believes that transit can be simple\, if we focus on the underlying geometry that all transit systems share. \n\n				\n	\n	Suddenly\, public transit is a critical issue. For decades\, the private car has seemed the ideal tool for free and spontaneous travel\, and in rural areas and many small towns\, that will continue to be true. But all over the world\, people are moving into cities\, and great cities just don’t have room for everyone’s car. Meanwhile\, the converging threats of climate change and the end of cheap oil are forcing a new assessment of how cities work. Public transit-the most efficient mode for moving large numbers of people long distances across cities-is an essential tool in that effort. \n	Where to get the book? You can find the book at your local library\, bookstore or online. \nGood News: You do NOT have to read the book to attend. Join us for an engaging conversation designed for anyone curious about architecture and its broader context. \n\n				\n	\n	The discussion will be led by Jon Nouchi\, Director of Transit\, who focuses on advancing Honolulu’s multimodal transit system\, including Skyline\, TheBus\, Handi-Van\, and Biki. \nNouchi brings nearly 30 years of transportation experience in Hawaiʻi. In his new role\, he will oversee transit planning\, operations\, and system integration as Skyline continues to expand as a core part of the island’s transportation network. \n	When: June 27 from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM\nWhere: UH West Oahu\, Center for Creative Media\nCEU: This session qualifies for 2 AIA/CES (HSW)\nCost: Free\nParking: Free\n\n			Taking the Skyline	\n			\n							Park-and-Ride\n					\n			\n							How to Ride Skyline\n					\n			\n							Fares\n					\n			\n							Google Maps Route\n					\n\n				\n	\n\n				\n	\n	\n\n                \n                        \n                            RSVP for Book Club #2\n                             \n							"*" indicates required fields \n                        \n                        Name*\n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    First\n                                                \n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    Last\n                                                \n                            \n                        AIA DesignationAIAAssoc.

SUMMARY:Architect Insight Session: Hawaiʻi's Local Wood Economy
DESCRIPTION:Architect Insight Session: Hawaiʻi’s Local Wood Economy (HSW)	\n\n			Virtual Discussion | June 30 | 1.0 HSW	\n	How can Hawaiʻi make better use of the trees and wood materials already within our communities?\n\n				\n	\n	Join representatives from the Hawaiʻi Department of Land and Natural Resources Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW) and Unified Wood Economy (UWE) for a virtual discussion focused on gathering insight and lived experience from architects and design professionals about the opportunities and challenges surrounding local wood resources. \nUWE has been engaged by DOFAW to assess Hawaiʻi’s urban wood biomass and explore pathways toward a more circular\, locally based wood economy. As part of this work\, they are seeking input from professionals across the building industry to better understand existing systems\, barriers\, and opportunities related to: \n\nSalvaged urban and near-urban trees\nReclaimed and deconstructed building materials\nLocal wood products and supply chains\nMaterial specification and procurement challenges\nOpportunities for greater use of Hawaiʻi-grown and recovered wood products in design and construction\n\nFor architects\, local wood presents exciting possibilities as a material that reflects place and culture-from custom millwork and furnishings to specialty finish applications and feature installations. Yet many challenges remain\, including inconsistent supply\, limited processing infrastructure\, material certification concerns\, and procurement hurdles. \nThis session is intended as a conversation rather than a presentation. UWE is in an active information-gathering phase and is looking to learn from practitioners who have attempted to specify\, source\, salvage\, reuse\, or advocate for local wood materials in Hawaiʻi projects. Whether your experience has been successful\, challenging\, or simply exploratory\, your perspective can help inform a broader understanding of the current landscape. \n	\n                \n                        \n                            2026 AIA & UWE Discussion\n                             \n                        \n                        Name(Required)\n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    First\n                                                \n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    Last\n                                                \n                            \n                        AIA DesignationNon-memberAIAAssoc.

Horton Hawaii\, will share the client's perspective on what they notice—and value—in the junior- and mid-level professionals who work with them. \nModerated by Chris Hong\, AIA\, the conversation will explore how emerging architects can become more effective participants in client meetings\, ask thoughtful questions\, communicate with confidence\, and represent their firms well. Panelists will discuss the behaviors that build credibility\, common mistakes that can undermine client confidence\, and what makes a client begin to see a younger team member as someone whose ideas and judgment they value. \nParticipants will leave with practical insights into how they can become more confident and effective in client-facing situations and begin building meaningful professional relationships early in their careers. \nThings to be covered during this presentation: \n\nUnderstand what clients value and notice in junior- and mid-level architectural professionals.\nLearn how to prepare for and contribute meaningfully to client meetings rather than simply attend them.\nDevelop techniques for asking thoughtful questions\, communicating confidently\, and representing the firm professionally.\nIdentify behaviors that build credibility and demonstrate readiness for greater client-facing responsibility.\n\n\n\n			Welcome Speakers	\n\n	Riki Fujitani | Executive Director | Hawaii School Facilities Authroity \n\n\n	The Hawaii School Facilities Authority is the state agency tasked with overseeing the development\, construction\, and modernization of public school projects\, preschools\, and workforce housing on underutilized school lands. \n\n\n\n			\n	\n	\n					\n					\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	Prior to leading the agency\, Riki served as the director of the auxiliary services branch within the Department of Education's Office of Facilities and Operations. \nUnder his leadership\, the SFA has focused heavily on accelerating the traditional timeline of constructing public education spaces through modernized procurement and design tools. \n\n\n\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	Tracy Tonaki | President | D.

SUMMARY:Teacher Training Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Blueprints for Leadership: A Series of Workshops (2 LUs)	\n\n			Empowering Architects at Every Stage of Their Career	\n\n\n			\n	\n	\n					\n					\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	Blueprints for Leadership is a dynamic series of workshops designed to help architects build essential skills in strategic thinking\, business acumen\, and effective management. Led by top experts in their fields\, each session offers premium instruction and meaningful networking opportunities. \n\n\n\n	\n\n	Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your leadership toolkit\, these sessions are crafted to support your growth. Attend one or attend them all-each workshop stands alone but together forms a comprehensive professional development experience. \n\n\n	\n\n\n			#7 Blueprints for Leadership: Earning a Seat at the Table	\n\n			Building Client Confidence Early in Your Career	\n\n	Client relationships aren't built only by principals and senior leaders. Every interaction with a client is an opportunity for emerging architects to demonstrate professionalism\, build confidence\, and show that they are ready to take on greater responsibility. \nIn this interactive panel discussion\, Riki Fujitani\, Executive Director of the Hawai‘i School Facilities Authority\, and Tracy Tonaki\, President of D.R. Horton Hawaii\, will share the client's perspective on what they notice—and value—in the junior- and mid-level professionals who work with them. \nModerated by Chris Hong\, AIA\, the conversation will explore how emerging architects can become more effective participants in client meetings\, ask thoughtful questions\, communicate with confidence\, and represent their firms well. Panelists will discuss the behaviors that build credibility\, common mistakes that can undermine client confidence\, and what makes a client begin to see a younger team member as someone whose ideas and judgment they value. \nParticipants will leave with practical insights into how they can become more confident and effective in client-facing situations and begin building meaningful professional relationships early in their careers. \nThings to be covered during this presentation: \n\nUnderstand what clients value and notice in junior- and mid-level architectural professionals.\nLearn how to prepare for and contribute meaningfully to client meetings rather than simply attend them.\nDevelop techniques for asking thoughtful questions\, communicating confidently\, and representing the firm professionally.\nIdentify behaviors that build credibility and demonstrate readiness for greater client-facing responsibility.\n\n\n\n			Welcome Speakers	\n\n	Riki Fujitani | Executive Director | Hawaii School Facilities Authroity \n\n\n	The Hawaii School Facilities Authority is the state agency tasked with overseeing the development\, construction\, and modernization of public school projects\, preschools\, and workforce housing on underutilized school lands. \n\n\n\n			\n	\n	\n					\n					\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	Prior to leading the agency\, Riki served as the director of the auxiliary services branch within the Department of Education's Office of Facilities and Operations. \nUnder his leadership\, the SFA has focused heavily on accelerating the traditional timeline of constructing public education spaces through modernized procurement and design tools. \n\n\n\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	Tracy Tonaki | President | D.

Horton Hawaii\, will share the client's perspective on what they notice—and value—in the junior- and mid-level professionals who work with them. \nModerated by Chris Hong\, AIA\, the conversation will explore how emerging architects can become more effective participants in client meetings\, ask thoughtful questions\, communicate with confidence\, and represent their firms well. Panelists will discuss the behaviors that build credibility\, common mistakes that can undermine client confidence\, and what makes a client begin to see a younger team member as someone whose ideas and judgment they value. \nParticipants will leave with practical insights into how they can become more confident and effective in client-facing situations and begin building meaningful professional relationships early in their careers. \nThings to be covered during this presentation: \n\nUnderstand what clients value and notice in junior- and mid-level architectural professionals.\nLearn how to prepare for and contribute meaningfully to client meetings rather than simply attend them.\nDevelop techniques for asking thoughtful questions\, communicating confidently\, and representing the firm professionally.\nIdentify behaviors that build credibility and demonstrate readiness for greater client-facing responsibility.\n\n\n\n			Welcome Speakers	\n\n	Riki Fujitani | Executive Director | Hawaii School Facilities Authroity \n\n\n	The Hawaii School Facilities Authority is the state agency tasked with overseeing the development\, construction\, and modernization of public school projects\, preschools\, and workforce housing on underutilized school lands. \n\n\n\n			\n	\n	\n					\n					\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	Prior to leading the agency\, Riki served as the director of the auxiliary services branch within the Department of Education's Office of Facilities and Operations. \nUnder his leadership\, the SFA has focused heavily on accelerating the traditional timeline of constructing public education spaces through modernized procurement and design tools. \n\n\n\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	Tracy Tonaki | President | D.
