I believe it is imperative that relevant government representatives gain a better understanding of our profession and the vital role we play in maximising the quality of Queensland\u2019s built environment. The aim is to encourage more effective integration of our skills and expertise into key decision-making and policy setting. Closer to home, I would like to examine how we can best communicate to members. To assist with this, a review of communication practices for all key stakeholders is currently underway. If you have views regarding how we can better communicate to our stakeholders, including you as a member, I invite you to email Judith Gilmore at <a href=\"mailto:Judith.gilmore@raia.com.au\">judith.gilmore@architecture.com.au<\/a> by <b>Monday 26 May 2014<\/b>.\u00a0 I look forward to keeping you posted on developments regarding communication and advocacy issues.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The review will lead to the preparation of a Communication and Stakeholder Management Plan that I am hopeful will be ready by June 2014.\u00a0 The Plan will allow us to target our resources, both financial and human capital, efficiently and in a more structured manner and I look forward to seeing the benefits occur through the latter half of the year \u2013 and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Importantly how the Institute engages with its members will also undergo a much needed overhaul in the next 12 months.\u00a0 A new business system will be deployed which will improve how members interface and engage with the Institute and one another.\u00a0 Queensland has volunteered to be the first trial site so I am looking forward to a more seamless way we can communicate and collaborate on the many issues in front of the profession.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BEMPQ \u2013 Built Environment Meets Parliament Queensland was held on the 6<sup>th<\/sup> of May 2014 and despite a more diverse program was still a great success.\u00a0 I want to personally thank the members who attended for your support for this very important initiative \u2013 which places the issues of design and the environment on the agenda.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wp.architecture.com.au\/news-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2014\/02\/AIA_Bempq_R.Kirk_140505_FINAL.pdf\">Richard&#8217;s Address to BEMPQ 2014<\/a><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Kind regards<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wp.architecture.com.au\/news-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2014\/02\/Richard-Kirk-Signature-Blue_large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3872\" src=\"http:\/\/wp.architecture.com.au\/news-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2014\/02\/Richard-Kirk-Signature-Blue_large-300x84.jpg\" alt=\"Richard Kirk Signature Blue_large\" width=\"300\" height=\"84\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.architecture.com.au\/news-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2014\/02\/Richard-Kirk-Signature-Blue_large-300x84.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wp.architecture.com.au\/news-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2014\/02\/Richard-Kirk-Signature-Blue_large-150x42.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wp.architecture.com.au\/news-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2014\/02\/Richard-Kirk-Signature-Blue_large-1024x287.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wp.architecture.com.au\/news-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2014\/02\/Richard-Kirk-Signature-Blue_large-685x192.jpg 685w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Richard Kirk FRAIA<\/p>\n<p>12 May 2014<\/p>\n<p>Queensland Chapter President<\/p>\n<p>Australian Institute of Architects<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:rk@richardkirkarchitect.com\">rk@richardkirkarchitect.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Friends and Colleagues Instagram \u2013 AIAQLD_PRES &nbsp; Communication and Engagement One of my main priorities as President is to explore how we can best communicate with our key stakeholders.
