Patriot Day - September 11, 2018

WE REMEMBER! Today we observe Patriot Day as the National Day of Service and Remembrance. This occurs on Sep. 11 of each year in memory of the 2,977 killed in the 2001 Sep. 11 attacks. 

The flag of the United States will be flown at half-staff at the White House and official government buildings all around the world and at many individual American homes.  Additionally, a moment of silence was observed to correspond with the attacks at 8:46am (EDT), the time the first plane, American Airlines Flight 11, struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. NEVER FORGET!

Sep 20: AIA/GCA Webex Meeting: P3 “Public Private Partnerships”
and their implications on Design and Construction in Hawaii

Register Online! Thursday, Sep. 20, 11:30am-1pm, AIA Center for Architecture

A P3, or public-private partnership, is a procurement model that uses an integrated approach to deliver infrastructure, incorporating design, construction, financing, operations and maintenance functions into the contract.  P3s have been successful around the nation for several years and many government agencies and developers are considering it for their project.  Come hear Rodney Moss of AIAI give a webex about P3 projects being explored in Hawaii and see how many current projects already have many of the aspects of P3.  Learn what has been proposed in the last Legislative session and what’s to come in the upcoming legislative session.  
 
Rodney Moss is Sr. Vice President of the Hunt Development Group. He has served AIAI for three years as the chair of the Law & Legislative committee and was instrumental in drafting the original P3 legislation in Texas and Florida. Rodney has 25 years experience in construction risk management and construction-related claims.  Rodney was a partner in the Procurement and Construction Practice Group of the law firm of Bradley Arant Boult & Cummings in Birmingham, Alabama before joining Balfour Beatty. His experience included complex transactions and claims, including coverage disputes, on behalf of large general contractors.

Cost: $10 AIA Members & GCA Members (GCA members must apply the promo code “GCA” at registration for member fee),  $20 for non-members.
