This year's 2-day event will be held March 10-11 in Versailles and will include workshop sessions as well as on-site learning at two schools. The program has been submitted for AIA/CE approval for 6.5 LU HSW the first day and 5 LU HSW on the second day.  View program details and register here.

Kudos and congratulations to April Pottorff, FAIA of CGL RicciGreene in Lexington, who will be elevated to the AIA College of Fellows during ceremonies at the AIA National Convention in Atlanta in May. She is the first woman from Kentucky to join the College of Fellows. April was recognized in Fellowship Category Two: "To advance the science and art of planning and building by advancing the standards of architectural education, training and practice" specifically in regard to her contributions to justice facility design.
