Its important for our design and construction community to have a voice and be heard during the 87th State Legislative session which started Jan. 12. Why is this important? The outcome of this session will affect your businesses operations, impact future new business opportunities in health and education, as well as redrawing the state’s political maps. However, only a handful of the Bills introduced make it to Governor Abbott’s desk for signature. This discussion is to be engaging and interactive, to give you an overview of what has happened to-date, what is to come, and we want this to be a call to action for you, our AIA and TEXO members, so that together we have a voice in the outcome of the legislative session.

 

Please join us as Becky Walker and Jack Baxley lead the conversation around what AIA and TEXO have been following. We are glad to welcome back Joe Oyler, Managing Director of Public Policy at the Dallas Regional Chamber to facilitate the discussion and provide the perspective of our North Texas region.

Kick off 2021 with a fun AEC Trivia Night with our friends at the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC)! Have fun networking with others in the DFW AEC community. Show off your smarts in this online trivia showdown to win great prizes.
