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.
