Display WallDisplay Wall at International Market Square
Steve Fiskum, AIA Minnesota President and Chair of the Public Relations Task Force that met Spring 2011, presented a summary of the task force findings and highlighted how the display wall and many other promotional opportunities support the key messages for all AIA Minnesota members and firms. Beverly Hauschild-Baron, AIA Minnesota EVP, talked about our central messaging around the concepts of Advocate, Transform and Envision and how member firms can participate in the our promotional opportunities.
Firms can present their projects in an extended format (4 display boards) on a new display wall in the heavily trafficked atrium of International Market Square. For guidelines and templates, please see below.
