It’s been a vibrant and inspiring summer, marked by the AIA National Conference and a range of impactful events throughout the past month. The COTE Network also hosted a lively and thought-provoking Q2 call on May 13th, bringing together voices from across our community.
Missed the discussion? No worries—you can catch up anytime. The full recording and presentation slides are available in our archive.
At AIA National, the COTE Network had an exciting opportunity to participate in a curated networking session, where the Committee on the Environment hosted the COTE Open Forum. COTE Chair Robin Puttock led a dynamic conversation featuring the two most recent winners of the COTE Top Ten for Students Competition, alongside longtime industry leader and educator Barbra BatShalom. The exchange was insightful, energizing, and a true highlight!
Looking ahead, mark your calendars: the next COTE Network Call is scheduled for August 5th, 2pm ET / 1pm CT. We look forward to another engaging conversation as we tap into the collective knowledge and wisdom of our local COTE leaders. We hope to see you there!
