The American Institute of Architects New Jersey (AIA New Jersey) chapter extends its sincere congratulations to Governor-Elect Mikie Sherrill on her election victory. We commend all those who participated in the democratic process and thank the voters of New Jersey for their civic engagement.
As an organization representing architects, design professionals, and allied industries across the state, AIA New Jersey is dedicated to advancing the quality of our built environment, promoting resilient and sustainable communities, and ensuring that thoughtful design contributes to the health, safety, and welfare of all New Jersey residents.
We look forward to working collaboratively with the incoming administration to address the challenges and opportunities facing our state—from housing affordability to resiliency and historic preservation. Architects play a critical role in creating equitable, forward-looking solutions for all communities in our state and enhancing quality of life. We welcome the opportunity to share our expertise in service to these goals.
Governor-Elect Sherrill’s long-standing commitment to public service and her focus on pragmatic, community-centered leadership align with AIA New Jersey’s mission to build a better future for all New Jerseyans. AIA New Jersey is eager to engage in open dialogue and partnership to ensure that our state continues to thrive through innovation, sustainability, and sound design policy.
We look forward to continuing to work with NJ legislation and to a productive and inspiring term ahead.
