Leadership Institute
2004 Fall Workshop
& IMI Golden Trowel Awards Luncheon
Friday, October 29, 2004, in
The American Club
Kohler, Wisconsin.
Leadership
This year’s Fall Workshop will focus on Leadership . . . and what it means for you, your firm, our profession and our communities. The workshop speakers will help us explore the connection between the practice of architecture and public policy as well as identify the opportunities for and benefits of getting involved and making a difference.
“Perhaps never in history have the talents, skills, the broad vision and the ideals of the architecture profession been more urgently needed,” according to the Boyer Report, Building Community. This observation helped to inspire the creation of the AIA Leadership Institute at Georgetown University.
The 2004 AIA Wisconsin Fall Workshop is bringing the best of the AIA Leadership Institute to The American Club in Kohler for an information-packed one-day program. The interactive workshop sessions will address real-life issues and provide strategies to help you:
• Identify and build upon your leadership skills.
• Discover the venues for leadership that align with your interests.
• Understand the role of vision, mission and values.
• Appreciate what integrity, ethics and character have to do with leadership.
• Develop and hone your firm management and executive leadership skills.
• Elevate the profession and the public perception of architects.
The workshop program features special presentations by Richard N. Swett, FAIA, and Richard M. Ayres, Esq., the highest rated faculty members at recent AIA Leadership Institutes. In addition to being an architect and a former ambassador and congressman, Swett is the author of a new book on design and leadership. Ayres is the director of the Center for Labor-Management Studies. Robert Greenstreet, dean of UWM SARUP, will kick off the workshop and keep the program on track during the day.
Plan now to join other leaders on Friday, October 29, for the AIA Wisconsin Leadership Institute. The luncheon program features the presentation of the 2004 Wisconsin Golden Trowel Awards by the International Masonry Institute. On behalf of the Fall Workshop planning committee, I look forward to seeing you in Kohler.

Architects & Leadership
Robert C. Greenstreet, RIBA, Int’l Assoc. AIA
When it comes to leadership, Bob Greenstreet not only talks the talk, but he also walks the walk. After a year as the interim chancellor of the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee, he is back as the dean of the School of Architecture & Urban Planning. In addition, he recently was appointed as the director of planning and design for the City of Milwaukee, a unique new position through UWM SARUP. Greenstreet will kick off the workshop by providing his observations on the value of architects taking on leadership roles. He also will introduce the other speakers and facilitate the question and answer sessions.
9:15 a.m.
Leadership by Design
Richard N. Swett, FAIA
Ambassador Swett will explore the interplay between the practice of architecture and public policy. You’ll learn that public policy is an act of design and why it is important for architects to get involved further upstream in the policy development process. Richard Swett is an architect . . . and also the former Ambassador to Denmark and a former U.S. Representative from New Hampshire. In his forthcoming book, Leadership by Design: An Architecture of Trust, he tells a remarkable story of how architects have contributed to the civic and political life of this country. It is a motivational tale that outlines why it is important for us, as citizen-architects, to become even more engaged in the formulation of public policy. This is true not only for personal growth, but also because of the benefits that will accrue to our profession and the public at large. You will walk away from this workshop session with a greater appreciation of why our training, experience, problem-solving skills and vision as architects make us uniquely qualified to take on important leadership roles.
12:00 p.m.
Golden Trowel Awards Luncheon
International Masonry Institute
The luncheon program features the presentation of the 2004 Wisconsin Golden Trowel Awards by the International Masonry Institute (IMI). This awards program recognizes outstanding achievement in masonry design. The IMI is a non-profit organization that represents all the trowel trades and conducts programs on market promotion, technical services, apprenticeship and training, research and development and labor/management relations.
1:30 p.m.
Leadership: Making a Difference
Richard M. Ayres, Esq.
Today, it seems we are constantly looking for people to be leaders. We want the strongest, most qualified individuals to lead our firms, our communities and our nation. Yet, much of society prefers to sit on the sidelines, not get involved and be followers. In this dynamic workshop session, Richard Ayres will discuss what’s behind ethical character-driven leadership. You will learn how to become a leader and truly make a difference in other people’s lives, at home, at work and in your community. Ayres is the director of the Center for Labor-Management Studies, a management consulting firm that provides training in value-driven leadership, organizational and executive development, team building, conflict resolution and other areas of interest to community leaders. Formerly a special agent with the FBI, he currently is responsible for all training and research for the FBI’s National Executive Institute Associates and serves as an adjunct faculty member of the University of Virginia and Georgetown University. Ayres will discuss what credibility, integrity, character, vision and mission have to do with leadership. You will discover that the skills and information you learn in this interactive leadership workshop will be invaluable to you . . . not only in your professional life, but in your personal interactions as well.
4:15 p.m.
