Session Description:
Talent development is core to all professional services firms’ continued health and potential growth. Especially during times of extraordinary change, with new workplace modalities and an increasingly intergenerational workforce, the time has come to invest in learning and development (L&D) programming for everyone, regardless of title or tenure.
L&D does not have to be overly complicated in scope or lengthy in duration; it just needs to be effective. This session has been selected for the AIA’s 2025 Conference and will present best practices and design principles for producing high-impact learning experiences. Participants will create a takeaway in the form of a check-list they can use to assess their current L&D initiatives and guide their future investments.
Presenter: Laura Weiss, Founder + Principal, Design Diplomacy LLC
With over 25 years as an innovation partner for global brands, Laura Weiss CPCC, PCC is an executive coach, professional mediator, facilitator, and educator.
A former licensed architect, Laura spent a decade with the renowned design firm IDEO as a Practice Director and Associate Partner and also served as a Principal in Korn Ferry’s Leadership and Professional Development practice. She has held teaching appointments in architectural design and design leadership at the University of Virginia, the California College of the Arts, and the Yale School of Architecture, and has been a director on several nonprofit boards including the American Institute of Architects’ Strategic Council, Public Architecture, and the Yale Alumni Association’s Board of Governors.
To learn more about Laura, please visit her website or LinkedIn profile.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will understand some basic best practices in L&D programming.
Participants will apply core design principles for effective L&D curricula.
Participants will assess current programming against these principles and practices.
Participants will adapt this knowledge to engage with internal resources or outside partners to close the gap between current and future state L&D programming for their firm.

Join AIA Maine’s Strategic Council Representative, Tim Lock, AIA of OPAL, to learn about the 2025 Strategic Council Areas of Study and hear about his Strategic Councilor role.
AIA Maine is looking for a member to fill the 2026-2028 position. If you are interested in applying, this is a great session to learn more about this exciting role.
AIA Maine Director to the Strategic Council, Tim Lock, AIA - OPAL
About the Strategic Council:
The Strategic Council advances the architecture profession by informing the Board and other Institute bodies about important professional issues, opportunities, and threats. Although it is not an AIA governing body, the Council’s work is vital to AIA’s ability to serve the profession. The Council approaches its tasks with an emphasis on an outward and forward-focused vision.
The 2025 Strategic Council Areas of Study
The 10-Year Valuation and Future Blueprint Study Group focuses on assessing the Strategic Council's past decade of work to identify any previous recommendations that are still relevant today, and to provide recommendations on process frameworks for future council adoption.
The AIA of the Future Study Group looks to explore ways to expand our member-centric institute's relevancy, effectiveness, and visibility through partnerships and by exploring new ways to empower members with resources to increase their engagement.
The Climate Responsive Design & Leadership Study Group aims to equip architects with tools and knowledge to address rapidly evolving climate challenges while fostering design equity.
The Connected Communities Study Group will identify ways architects help their cities and communities leverage technology and advocacy to enhance public and private sector collaboration.
The Digital Architecture Study Group will continue to explore the integration of AI and digital tools to promote equity, sustainability, and efficiency within architectural practice, across the profession and to benefit the public.
The Resilient Practice Models Study Group will examine ways architectural practices can thrive amidst advancing technologies, encroaching industries, and a record number of retiring firm owners.
Thought leadership
The Council meets to consider topics based on AIA's strategic objectives. From that work, it develops recommendations for the Board's consideration.
Join Maine’s Small Firm Exchange representatives: Paul Lewandowski, AIA, who sits on the National Board of the SFx, and Gavin Engler, AIA, Maine’s Representative for the SFx.
During this program, we will:
Define what SFx is: The mission of the AIA Small Firm Exchange (SFx) is to advance the mutual interests of architects practicing in small firms. The objectives of the AIA SFx are three-fold:
Advocate the value of small firms, the national SFx, and local SFx groups, both within the AIA and to the public.
Curate and disseminate the most pertinent resources and information from the AIA & elsewhere that benefit small firms.
Inform the AIA of current issues facing small firms and areas in which current resources/information are lacking.
Outline what we hope to do as SFx Maine:
First and foremost, provide an open forum for discussion, helping to foster conversations that will benefit Maine’s small firms and practitioners.
Secondly, be a direct source sharing small firm news and resources from National (via emails, sections within AIA Maine’s newsletters, etc.).

Bummed Out by the Housing Crisis? Let’s Talk Solutions.
AIA Maine is bringing members together for a critical conversation on housing policy. We’re looking for your feedback as members and practicing architects on how AIA Maine can play a part in ending the housing crisis in Maine.
Elizabeth Frazier, policy advocate from Pierce Atwood, will break down the key legislative initiatives this year and share insights from Maine’s Housing Outlook, a recent report from MaineHousing. From affordability to zoning, she’ll provide the big-picture view of what actions are happening at the state level and what it could mean for architects and the built environment.
Jesse Thompson of Kaplan Thompson Architects will dive into the real-world examples of design and regulatory hurdles he has faced while working on affordable housing projects throughout the state. Jesse will share his experiences and, more importantly, ask for yours. This is your chance to bring up the hot-button issues affecting your work and help shape the conversation on where policy needs to go next.
Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, speak up, and be part of the solution. The feedback from this discussion will serve as a foundation for AIA Maine’s Legislative Committee to develop a more targeted and effective approach to supporting housing solutions that align with the needs of architects and their communities.
