Hello LGBTQIA+ Pilot Members.
I want to share two important dates with you.
On Thursday, August 8, this group will transition to being searchable and joinable by those with active AIA accounts. The group will appear as the LGBTQIA+ Member Group and be listed on the My Account page along with all AIA Knowledge Communities and Member Groups. It will also be listed on aia.org but that date is TBD (request is in the queue and will happen soon). I am meeting with our MarComm team this week to confirm that we will be promoting the group via social media and other comms channels. Please note that on this day you will receive an email welcoming you to the group. This is just a formality of the system, and you need take no action.
On Wednesday, August 14, AIA KnowledgeNet will transition to the new Thrive experience with updated look, feel, and navigation to improve your experience. KnowlegeNet will also be rebranded with a new name. Your existing profile settings, including privacy settings, will remain unchanged. The group will remain self-moderated, and I will continue to manage the moderation queue. You can continue to reach out to me via the group or at michaelhamilton@aia.org.
Thank you for being part of this pilot. I'm looking forward to seeing this group grow and become even more dynamic.
Michael
