美国建筑师协会（艾娅） 已宣布其执行副总裁兼首席执行官罗伯特常春藤，粮农组织将在2021年底退休，经过转型性，十年长期租赁在协会的最高领导作用。

作为detailed by the AIA this morning, Ivy led the institute through numerous impactful changes since his appointment in 2011 including a restructuring of the Board of directors to “encourage nimble debate and decision making,” the organization’s successful “digital transformation” across a multitude of platforms, overseeing an ongoing awareness campaign and reconstituted philanthropic foundation, and maintaining what the AIA called a “consistent, assertive public voice based on architects’ values.”

在他的任期下，常春藤，麦格劳山的老将和庆祝前编辑的建筑记录，还通过衰退，衰退的金融稳定和会员增长的衰退期间丧生。根据常春藤，AIA在美国和美国的200章和组件上达到了95,500名成员的记录设定基准，进一步走。This figure represents the AIA’s highest total membership since the organization was established in 1857 in New York City by a group of 13 architects—Charles Babcock, Henry W. Cleaveland, Henry Dudley, Leopold Eidlitz, Edward Gardiner, Richard Morris Hunt, Fred A. Petersen, Jacob Wrey Mould, John Welch, Richard M. Upjohn, Joseph C. Wells, and Richard Upjohn serving as the inaugural president—with the goal to “promote the scientific and practical perfection of its members.”

最近，常春藤通过一段政治和社会动荡的时期领导了协会，发现协会“强大的立场面临着当代文化的紧急事项，包括气候行动和种族股权。”During this period Ivy, per the AIA, has been “instrumental in the AIA’s championing the positive and necessary role architects can play in issues such as sustainability, resilience, school safety, immigration, infrastructure, and shoring up the pipeline for present and future architects by addressing equity, diversity, and inclusion in the profession and society.“

作为一个过去曾报道过，常春藤的任期并不完全没有争议。在2016年总统选举唐纳德特朗普的总统选举之后，AIA发布了一个备忘录包含“调解和支持语言”，支持特朗普的5000亿美元的基础设施建设计划（一个继续成为某种东西的计划跑笑话在他的总统期间）。对AIA成员的备忘录的反应是迅速的，非常重要。结果，常春藤最终发布两道歉，其中的第二个是与前AIA国家主席Russ Davidson的联合视频道歉。

“Robert’s leadership and vision have been instrumental in successfully moving the organization forward through challenging times, realigning its values with today’s membership, and positioning the organization to address society’s most pressing challenges, including climate action and racial and ethnic equity,” said AIA 2021 President Peter Exley, FAIA, in a statement. “He will leave behind a legacy that has enhanced the standing of architects and laid the foundation that is critical to creating a more welcoming and inclusive profession for the future.”

一个将继续将本公告与AIA成员和较大的建筑社区的退休反应更新。您可以阅读更多关于在他的时间领导AIA期间实现的常春藤的信息这里。
