ARCHITEXT | April 2024

The monthly newsletter of the AIA El Paso Chapter

Dear members -

As we move forward into the heart of another productive year, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each member of the executive committee for your unwavering dedication and support in advancing our initiatives.

Your commitment to advocating for the architectural profession within our community has been truly inspiring. Your efforts in promoting the value of architecture and nurturing the next generation of architects through donations and support for high school students embarking on this journey are commendable.

I also want to express my appreciation for your dedication to supporting the Women in Architecture (WiA) committee. By raising awareness and advocating for gender equality within our field, we are fostering an inclusive environment where every architect can thrive.

In addition to our professional endeavors, I am excited to announce a new initiative aimed at promoting health and wellness among our members. Starting this month, I encourage you all to join us for a rejuvenating walk along Scenic Drive every Sunday at 9 am. Let’s take advantage of the beauty that surrounds us and come together to rejuvenate both body and mind.

Furthermore, mark your calendars for our monthly hike on April 27th, where we will explore the “10,000 Steps Trail” starting at 8:30 am. It promises to be an invigorating experience that strengthens both our physical and social bonds.

Together, let us continue to uphold the values of our organization and strive for excellence in all that we do. Thank you for your ongoing support, dedication, and passion for architecture.

See you all outside,

Rida Asfahani, AIA
