AIA Bend Pickleball League

Serve Up Some Fun and join our Inaugural AIA Bend Pickleball League!

Ready to dink, drive, and dominate? Grab a partner and sign up for the AIA Bend Pickleball League! This is your chance to compete for prizes and bragging rights in a laid-back, yet competitive environment.

The registration cost is $20 for teams that have at least one AIA member and $40 for non-member teams; you and your doubles partner will play just one game per week starting mid-July and continuing into August. You'll have the flexibility to coordinate your matches on your own schedule within the one-week window. Teams can be co-ed and from any company, so gather your dream team!

A portion of the net proceeds from the registration costs will go to the Bend Redmond Habitat for Humanity.

Here is a link to the official rules, but feel free to agree on other rules as long as everyone's on board and having a blast!

Don't miss out on the fun – sign up today and get ready to show off your pickleball skills!

Shape the Future of Professional Development at AIA Oregon!

Dear AIA Oregon Members,

Following our recent Strategic Planning Retreat in Bend, we're excited to announce the formation of a new Professional Development Task Force. While the full outcomes of the retreat are still being reviewed by the Board of Directors, the critical need for this task force was a universally agreed-upon priority. To act swiftly, the Executive Committee of the Board has decided to launch this initiative without delay.

The purpose of this task force is to directly influence and enhance the value we provide to our members. You'll play a vital role in setting the direction for, providing input on, and suggesting new education, trends, and technologies that will shape our AIA Oregon continuing education programs, networking opportunities, and firm events.

This task force will convene annually for a focused, three-month period, meeting during August, September, and October. Your contributions during these months will directly inform and produce suggestions for the following year's programming.

This is a unique opportunity to directly impact the professional growth and success of your fellow AIA Oregon members. If you're passionate about professional development and eager to contribute to the future of our organization, we encourage you to express your interest.

Ready to make a difference? Please email Heather Wilson by July 15, 2025 to indicate your interest in joining the Professional Development Task Force.

We look forward to your valuable contributions!
