Liam Hanlon, Assoc. AIA Elected VP of the Academy for Emerging Professionals

Congratulations to Liam Hanlon, Assoc. AIA, elected VP of the Academy for Emerging Professionals at the April 24, 2025 Board of Directors Meeting. //byline Tibby Rothman, Hon. AIA|LACommunications Director, AIA California About Born and raised in the heart of the Silicon Valley, Liam was able to watch the area grow around him as he grew up. His studies lead him to the Central Coast where he would study Architecture at Cal Poly. During his time in school he was very involved with student organizations including AIAS. Since then he has continued to be involved with the AEP and NCARB while focusing on primarily K-12 projects. After working in San Jose, Liam is now living and working down in San Diego where he continues to focus on educational projects.  Philosophy, Goals, and Objectives Since 2017, I have had the pleasure to be a member of the Academy of Emerging Professionals, as a Student Director, State Licencing Advisor and State Associate Representative. It is part of my calling to listen and support those around me so that we can all move forward through this exciting profession we all seem to love. It is my goal and has been my passion to help support people navigating their parth in the architectural industry. I believe that I could continue to help the profession move forward as the VP of the AEP for the remainder of the current term. As this position has a short term, I believe it is important to have someone who is currently involved with the creation and development of this year’s AEP programs continue to see them through. My goal for this term within the AEP is to retain the institutional memory and continue the development and oversight of the programs that are currently in motion while actively being engaged with the topics, programs and decisions that are going on with AIA California.
