Be informed about all AIBD events, and those hosted by our industry partners, at AIBD.org/events.

Here’s a quick list of what we have on the calendar.

A library of training videos provided by the Certified Training Institute (CTI), one of our newest CE Providers, now lives on AIBD.org.   

 

Each of the 25+ hours of training is identified and arranged according to the associated areas of knowledge and skills, according to the AIBD’s Building Designer Job Task Analysis (JTA), which is found on pages 39-43 in the CPBD Candidate Handbook.

 

There are four knowledge areas identified in the JTA – Business Administration, Business Practices, Design Process, and Building Design.

 

The new Certified Training Institute webpage currently includes instruction in only the first domain – Business Admin. But rather than waiting until all 56 CTI classes are uploaded, we’ll announce each of the parts as they go live (about two weeks apart).

 

Thanks to CTI, everyone wishing to become better skilled at their craft will have specialized training access.

 

Whether you’re a CPBD looking for approved Primary CEs, you’re preparing yourself for the CPBD exam, or you want to be the best you can be at what you do, bookmark AIBD.org/onlineCTI.

We’ve increased the discount available to AIBD members when registering for on-demand online education at AIBD.org/continuing-education. The normal price for a one-hour course is $50, and rather than AIBD members paying $35, that figure has been reduced to $21. That’s a $29 savings on each course. 

We said 60% off; it’s actually 58%, we rounded up.

One course per month (with a month or two off) means you’ve paid for your annual membership and more.

There are three ways to get ahold of the discount code.

We are pleased to announce, AIBD’s operations office is moving. 

Would you please make a note and begin to use this new mailing address, beginning today?

As AIBD’s industry presence grows, this new and exciting office strategy gives AIBD chapters, the Council, and its committees, access to meeting rooms and training centers at over 3000 locations worldwide.

Learn more by reading a report delivered to the Board of Directors by our Executive Director.

The AIBD has ad space available in this weekly e-newsletter, Monday Minute.

We are also filling the 2021 dedicated blast schedule. A dedicated blast is an email exclusively dedicated to your company and a message sent to over 8,400 AIBD subscribers.

Availability is limited and sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Contact Kathy Dowdy, Account Manager (kdowdy@associationrevenuepartners.com), if you have any questions or if you’d like to secure your campaign.

Would you enjoy getting a short email from me (Steve Mickley) every Friday that provides a little morsel of fun before the weekend?

4x Friday is a concise email I send out with four of the coolest things I’ve found, learned, or experienced that week.

It could include new products, ideas, tips, articles, hacks, and tricks.

It’s concise. A tiny bite of goodness before you head off for the weekend.

Listen to the AIBD podcast, Let’s Talk Certification, on iHeartRADIO, a free broadcast, podcast, and streaming radio platform founded in 2008.
