You are invited to attend the greatest "intervention" our profession has ever experienced!

Using Open Space Technology, the AIBD will be hosting a two-day work shop based on the book Retooling the U.S. Housing Industry. The industry wide discussion will begin with the thoughts of Sam Rashkin, the book's author. This opening session will set the stage for 15-hours of break-outs designed to empower the residential design and building professional, via training and dialogue, to right the course of the U.S. housing industry.

"As the founding director of the EPA’s Energy Star for Homes program, the industry’s oldest and largest national residential rating system, Sam Rashkin—an unassuming fellow with a brilliant mind and passionate energy—almost single-handedly changed the way America builds houses." ~ ecohome magazine

Once Sam begins the dialog, it will then be you – the participants – who will be the featured speakers, presenters and contributors. Together, the group will identify the needs of today’s home design and building professional, and launch innovative tools to be used to thrive in the “new normal.”
