This presentation will serve as an excellent opportunity for the Los Angeles area architecture and design community to become more familiar with Mayor Bloomberg’s Design and Construction Excellence (DC+E) Program, which is led by Commissioner Burney and his staff of 1200. “D+CE enables New York City to aggressively pursue an innovative and ambitious public works program in partnership with the most creative and experienced design professionals in the world. Its strategies focus on new procurement methods, new business policies aimed at enhancing project management, developing more accurate project scheduling guidelines, tightening the budget process, and creating contemporary continuing education and evaluation standards.”

AIA/LA POC co-Chairs Roger Sherman, AIA and Jim Favaro, AIA will frame the discussion with Commissioner Burney and moderate a Q&A session after the presentation.
