Chapter founding member Thomas Vonier is running for Institute vice president. Elections are slated this June at the AIA national convention in Denver.
AIA Europe, the chapter he established in 1994, and his original Chapter, AIA Washington DC, nominated Tom to run, along with AIA New York. With a strong record of accomplishment within the
Institute, Tom led to establish the AIA International Region. He has long supported the practice interests of AIA members everywhere.
Tom speaks about his candidacy on YouTube.
Every AIA Chapter sends delegates to the convention to cast votes. Tom especially needs votes from AIA Chapters in the United States.
If you have good connections to Chapters and members in the US, please urge them to support Tom. See his campaign web site, www.vonierforaia.com, and please use Facebook®, Twitter® and LinkedIn® to promote his run!

This January, the AIA's five existing offshore Chapters—and the one now forming on mainland China—became part of the new AIA International Region. The Region also includes AIA members who reside outside of the United States (except those in commonwealths, territories, and possessions).
The five existing AIA Chapters are AIA United Kingdom, AIA Continental Europe, AIA Hong Kong, AIA Japan and AIA Middle East. A Chapter is also developing among members in Shanghai and Beijing.
In terms of membership—at approximately 2,400 overall—the AIA’s nineteenth region is about the same size as nine of the others. It is larger than at least three of them, and growing. An interim board of directors is now working on bylaws, forming the legal governing entity, and defining operating principles and mechanisms.
Comments from AIA members and friends are welcome. We look forward to using the AIA International web site (at www.aiainternational.org) and to meeting with those who can attaned AIA Grassroots (20-23 March 2013 in Washington DC) and the AIA national convention (20-22 June 2013 in Denver).
