Re: President’s Report
Date: May 7, 2015
BSA Board School Representatives Meeting Picking up some of the themes that were discussed during the January Board Retreat, I hosted a meeting with School Representatives to the Board on April 15. We discussed two potential initiatives: 1) the concept of a networking event that would connect the schools (program directors and professors) with potential studio jurors and adjunct instructors and 2) a structure for better connecting studio faculty to relevant local sites and design problems. In the future, it is hoped that the Civic Engagement Task Force would help organize the studio assignment match-making.
Urban Design Workshop – Workforce Housing The BSA hosted a three-day design workshop that included two public presentations focused on workforce housing in Boston. The workshop aimed to stimulate discussion and encourage both public officials and the public, to be inspired by the proposals and by the aggregation of a new residential development might begin to contribute to a new mixed-use neighborhood. The overall goal of this workshop was to promote more expansive and innovative thinking about urban workforce housing.
Four interdisciplinary design teams, led by Brian Healy AIA, Beth Whittaker AIA, Eric Howeler AIA, and a team organized by the Emerging Professionals Committee, proposed housing on adjacent parcels on a site on Dorchester Avenue in South Boston. This area was identified by the City as one of two of the Mayor’s housing development “priority zones.” The result of the workshop was a proposal for a new neighborhood that can help set priorities for new policy initiatives.
Two events were organized in conjunction with the design workshop. The first, held on Monday, March 30, provided an overview of the workshop objectives as well as a panel discussion with national housing experts. At second event, held on Thursday, April 2, the four participating teams presented their design proposals. A follow-up meeting with key City staff is scheduled for May 8.
Boston Living with Water The BSA, the Boston Harbor Association, City of Boston, and the Boston Redevelopment Authority, organized the Boston Living with Water competition, an international call for design solutions “envisioning a more resilient, more sustainable, and more beautiful Boston adapted for end-of-the-century climate conditions and rising sea levels.”
The design teams participating in the two-stage competition have been hard at work since the announcement of the finalists on February 26 at BSA Space. Their work will be reviewed, and a winner will be announced, by Mayor Walsh, at the final jury on June 8.
Designing Boston: Defining Innovation On April 6, Attorney Michael Ross moderated a diverse panel focused on the question: “What does innovative design mean for Boston architecture and for its architects?” Participants included developer Bryan Koop, architect Rob M. Rogers FAIA, landscape architect Shauna Gillies-Smith, and Boston
5
Redevelopment Authority (BRA) board member Ted Landsmark Assoc. AIA. The panelists discussed opportunities for innovative design in a 21st-century city and how new thinking about municipal processes, private development, and design practice will get us there.
IDeAS: Innovative Design Alternatives Summit Ted Landsmark, Assoc. AIA, and the BRA, under Kairos Shen AIA’s leadership, have organized an ambitious two-day conference focused on Boston’s future. Scheduled for May 6 and 7, the IDeAS Summit is partly a thinly-veiled launch of the City’s much-anticipated Comprehensive Plan and partly an answer to the Mayor’s call for “design excellence.” The panel discussions will cover far-ranging topics including equity, affordability, public engagement, and design.
Olympics 2024 A two-part discussion, led by David Manfredi and scheduled for May 4 and June 22, will examine the legacy possibilities pertaining to the bid for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Summer Games. Manfredi will make the case the Olympics can be a powerful catalyst for dialogue, engagement, and planning initiatives related to infrastructure, mobility, housing, sustainability, resiliency, innovation, and renewed investment in the public realm.
2015 Rotch Scholarship On April 9, the Rotch Travelling Scholarship competition jury announced that the 2015 winner is Julie Kaufman. She will receive up to $38,500 for at least six months of travel in the coming year. The annual two-stage design competition results in one person traveling the world for at least six months studying architecture. With over 65 entrants, the 2015 six finalists endured two rigorous stages of competition. This year’s jurors were James Dallman, partner at La Dallman Architects; Sam Choi, professor at Northeastern University; Jill Kaehler, architect at Behnisch Architekten; Steve Foote, Vice President of the Rotch Travelling Scholarship; and Peter Wiederspahn, Secretary of the Rotch Travelling Scholarship. Nominating Committee The Nominating Committee, chaired by Laura Wernick FAIA, has wrapped up their work and the committee members are calling potential candidates for the election slate. This will be reviewed and discussed at the June 25th board meeting.

To: BSA Board of Directors From: Eric White Re: Executive Director’s Report Date: May 7, 2015
Financials Nardella & Taylor finished the audit and will be filing our tax returns within the next week. We will review the audit results and year-end financials at the June 25 board meeting. Q1 financial reports are enclosed and we are on target.
Membership & Committees The focus of the May Board meeting will be on Membership, Collaboration and Committees. ABX The ABX 2015 Call for Proposals brought in 367 workshop and tour submissions, compared to 372 last year. The Conference Program is under review all month long, and the scheduling will be finalized in May. Submissions covered topics from the traditional Codes and Building Enclosures type of workshops, to Resiliency, City Planning, Technological advancements within the A/E/C industries, shifts in the design of facilities in the Healthcare and Education arenas, as well as innovations related to Design Thinking. In response to feedback from our 2014 attendee surveys, a track of diverse workshop offerings designed for senior-level decision makers and firm principals is being developed for ABX 2015, similar to the popular Emerging Professionals track. New sponsorship opportunities have been rolled out, and the exhibit hall is already 80% sold. Sales of exhibit space, advertising and sponsorships are nearly 20% ahead of last year at this time.
Communications The summer issue of ArchitectureBoston, Voyage, will be available June 15. This content is syndicated to wider audiences through our partnership with ArchDaily www.archdaily.com/tag/architecture-boston/. Videos of select BSA programs are posted to the WGBH Forum Network and regularly promoted in their email newsletters. http://forum-network.org/. We recently signed agreements with Phaidon Press for cross promotional purposes, and with WGBH TV to run advertising against the next season run of AIA-produced Cool Spaces!
Events & Business Development We are working to develop a partnership with Boston Magazine for a media sponsorship for the BSA Design Awards Gala and other initiatives including BSA Space (exhibitions). Space rental continue to do well and bring in new audiences while also seeing a 20% revenue increase due to demand. BSA members, Corporate affiliates, student groups, non-profit organizations receive discounted rates. Recent rental clients include Tekscan, McKinsey + Company, Peter Rose + Partners, Henry Company, Northeastern University, MIT, Newforma, BSLA, National Grid, Architectural Digest and Autodesk.

Exhibitions StereoType: New Directions in Typography will close on May 25. Our next featured exhibition, Bigger than a Breadbox, Smaller than a Building, is curated by Rob Trumbour and Aaron Willette, and examines mid-size installations as an opportunity for architectural experimentation. “Breadbox” opens at the BSA on Wednesday, June 17. The following week, we celebrate the opening of the 2015 Design Biennial Boston, featuring introductory material at BSA Space and four installations from four selected firms on the Greenway.
Programs & Civic Initiatives The Designing Boston lecture series continues to draw large audiences and press attention by addressing how Boston can achieve overall design excellence by examining cutting edge topics like the state of housing and the development of Boston’s cultural plan. Work is also continuing on Living with Water as the jury will finish their work and a small exhibit will open on this work in June.
Juries for the 2015 BSA Design Awards programs are underway, including Harleston Parker, Urban and Campus planning, and Interior Design. The Honor awards jury will be hosted later this year by AIA Portland (OR).

Strategic Focus: Advocacy
Woodward reviewed our ongoing advocacy initiatives from over the years, including: Design Excellence, land use development, and public policy.
10
She reviewed current BSA program themes, including: resiliency and climate change, housing and affordability, future of the workplace, the urban realm, and transportation and mobility. Additionally, Woodward reviewed both the AIA MA Government Affairs Committee’s regulatory and legislative actions and the reform of Article 80. Noting that advocacy is involved in everything we do, the conversation was steered to our communications efforts.
Strategic Focus: Communications
Eisen reviewed our communication goals, including: • Give architects a larger role in defining the policies that shape the physical environment • Create an enduring and accessible record of BSA programs and recommendations • Focus on Design Excellence, broadly defined, as our “core competency”
Eisen discussed ideas about how to best define Design Excellence and ways to achieve it through panel discussions, letters and op-eds, urban design workshops, position papers, and media outreach. Eisen also recommended using all communication tools mentioned above to build strategic partnerships design schools, emerging professionals and other allied organizations. Per the discussion, Love requested that a subcommittee convene to draft a brief summary of our collective design principles.

FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY
COLLABORATION AGREEMENT
This Collaboration Agreement (this “Agreement”) effective as of [________] [__], 2015(the “Effective Date”), is made by and between the BSA Foundation (the”Foundation”), a Massachusetts non-profit corporation, and the Boston Society of Architects, a Massachusetts non-profit corporation (the “BSA”). The Foundation and the BSA are sometimes referred to herein, individually, as a “Party” and, collectively, as the “Parties.”
BACKGROUND
A. The Foundation works to build public awareness and engagement for architecture and design, including via an annual grant program which funds educational programs for public audiences. The Foundation is recognized as a charitable educational organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
B. The BSA is the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects in the Boston metropolitan area. Its membership is drawn from Eastern Massachusetts and includes 4000 architects, associate members and building industry affiliates. The BSA is committed to professional development for its members, advocacy on behalf of great design, and sharing an appreciation for the built environment with the public at large. The BSA is a professional organization under Section 501(c)(6) of the Code.
C. The BSA and Foundation boards and staff have successfully explored the logistical, programmatic and legal considerations involved in a temporary collaboration between the BSA and the Foundation, including by having the Foundation serve as the primary overseer of public educational programs that were historically developed and operated by the BSA.
D. Recognizing the synergies created by collaboration between the BSA and Foundation, the Parties agree to a collaboration to allow the BSA and Foundation to maximize their impact while making effective and efficient use of their combined resources, staff and facilities. All activities undertaken via this collaboration shall be in furtherance of the Foundation’s charitable mission, while recognizing that both organizations are independent.
E. The Parties desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth their agreements and understandings with respect to the collaboration.
17
AGREEMENT
The Parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Administration of the Collaboration.
a. Administrative Structure. To facilitate the administration of the collaboration, the Parties shall implement a governance model as generally described below. This model is intended to provide timely feedback, guidance and direction on the overall collaboration.
b. Joint Strategic Collaboration Process. The BSA and Foundation boards shall
engage in a joint strategic collaboration process. The BSA/Foundation Joint Strategic Collaboration Committee is responsible for coordinating the missions, visions and goals of the Parties. The Parties will prepare a shared strategic plan, with each of the Parties responsible for defined goals in keeping with their unique missions and strengths. Potential initial areas of collaboration include civic initiatives, exhibitions and lectures/forums/symposiums. Other collaborative advisory committees can be appointed as necessary.
c. BSA/Foundation Joint Strategic Collaboration Committee. The BSA/Foundation Strategic Collaboration Committee will serve as an advisory committee to the BSA and Foundation boards. The BSA/Foundation Strategic Collaboration Committee shall consist of three appointed representatives of each of the BSA and the Foundation boards. The BSA/Foundation Strategic Collaboration Committee shall identify strategic directions that align the missions and goals of the BSA and the Foundation and shall present these to both the BSA and the Foundation boards for approval. Approval of both boards is required for implementation.
d. Additional Committees. It is also expected that additional advisory committees shall be formed as necessary.
e. Personnel. The BSA personnel shall perform certain administrative, program, financial, fundraising and other tasks for the Foundation.
f. Status of Personnel. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that all BSA employees and contractors shall remain employees and contractors of the BSA and shall not be deemed to be employees or contractors of the Foundation unless specifically identified through written agreement. The BSA shall be solely responsible for the terms of employment or contractor arrangements of all such employees and contractors, including their salary and benefits and other forms of compensation. All staff report to the Executive Director who shall have the sole right to make decisions regarding hiring and termination of such employees and engaging or terminating the engagement of contractors. The Executive
18
Director is employed by the BSA and half his salary is paid for by the Foundation— as such, he reports to both the BSA and Foundation boards. The Foundation shall have no control over such terms and no responsibility to make any payment directly to employees or contractors. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute either the Foundation or the BSA as a partner or agent of the other.
2. Expense-Sharing Arrangement.
a. Personnel. As set forth above and on Exhibit A, and based on BSA/Foundation approved strategic plan, BSA staff will, on behalf of the Foundation, perform administrative, program, financial, fundraising and other tasks. The expected percentage of the Foundation Allocated Employee Time is set forth in Exhibit A. The aggregate costs of all the BSA personnel, including costs of benefits and salaries, incurred by the BSA are hereinafter referred to as “BSA Personnel Costs.”
b. Facilities. To the extent permitted under any applicable lease agreement, the BSA shall permit the Foundation to occupy a portion of space leased by the BSA. The aggregate costs incurred by the BSA under such leases or otherwise with respect to such facilities are hereinafter referred to as “BSA Facilities Costs”.
c. Services. The BSA may permit the Foundation to use services provided by third party services providers, such as telephone service, facilities maintenance, internet service, and information technology support services. The aggregate costs incurred by the BSA with respect to such services provided to the Foundation are referred to as “BSA Services Costs” (and together with BSA Personnel Costs and BSA Facilities Costs, “BSA Costs”).
d. General. The BSA shall inform the Foundation, from time to time, of the amount of BSA Costs, and the Foundation shall have access to the applicable agreements and the relevant portions of the BSA books and records for purposes of verification of the same.
e. Payment. All public charitable activities within the BSA/Foundation agreed-upon strategic direction are Foundation expenses. All direct public charitable program expenses will be paid by the Foundation. In addition, the BSA will invoice the Foundation on a quarterly basis for a cost-sharing portion of (i) the Foundation’s proportionate share of the BSA Personnel Costs (the “Foundation Personnel Costs”) and (ii) the Foundation’s proportionate share of BSA Services Costs and BSA Facilities Costs (together, “Foundation Other Costs”, and together with Foundation Personnel Costs, “Foundation Allocated Costs”). In each case such proportionate share shall be set forth in the annual operating budgets of both the BSA and Foundation and reflected on the invoice. Within ten (10) business days after the receipt of invoice, the Foundation shall make a quarterly payment
19
(a “Quarterly Payment”) to the BSA for amount invoiced. Each Quarterly Invoice shall be accompanied by sufficient detail as to how it was calculated by BSA. This shall be part of the annual budgeting process and shall be reviewed annually, or during a period of change, by both the BSA and Foundation.
3. Term of Agreement. The term of this Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall last for a period of [5 years], unless terminated earlier as provided in Section 9. The Agreement shall automatically renew for subsequent two (2) terms, unless terminated earlier as provided in Section 9. Each renewal term (if any) as agreed upon by the Parties shall be referred to herein collectively as the “Term”. Either party may request the agreement be amended as provided in Section 19. Such agreement amendments require approval of both the BSA and Foundation boards.
4. Obligations of the Parties. In connection with their joint activities, the Parties shall have the following obligations:
a. Foundation Obligations. The Foundation shall focus attention on the public engagement role of the organization; support the new collaboration with the BSA including shared staff and operational integration; and serve as a public advocate for architecture and engage in fundraising efforts to that end. The Foundation shall participate in necessary meetings as established by the BSA/Foundation Joint Strategic Collaboration Committees and shall participate in initiatives identified by the BSA/Foundation Joint Strategic Collaboration Committee and approved by the BSA and Foundation boards. In addition, the Foundation shall pursue initiatives to engage the public in appreciating design, including for example through its exhibitions, websites, public programs, grants, and fundraisers. The Foundation agrees to pay the BSA for services rendered by the BSA.
b. BSA Obligations. The BSA shall focus BSA attention on the professional engagement role of the organization; serve as an advocate for the profession; and support the new collaboration with the Foundation including shared staff and operational integration. The BSA shall participate in necessary meetings as established by the BSA/Foundation Joint Strategic Collaboration Committees and shall participate in initiatives identified by the BSA/ Foundation Joint Strategic Collaboration Committee and approved by the BSA and Foundation boards. In addition, the BSA shall pursue its professional programs that support the creation of architecture, including for example through the Architecture Boston Expo, BSA committees, websites, and design awards.
5. Intellectual Property. The following rules will govern the Parties’ use and creation of intellectual property in connection with their joint activities:
a. Each of the Foundation and the BSA will retain sole ownership of any intellectual property that such Party owns prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement and
20
any intellectual property that such Party creates on its own or acquires from a third party outside the scope of their joint activities.
b. Intellectual Property that exists prior to the effective date of this agreement can be used by either the BSA or Foundation unless the sole proprietor objects.
6. Confidentiality. For the Term of this Agreement and following its termination, both Parties shall undertake to treat any Confidential Information received in confidence from the other Party in a confidential manner, and shall neither convey nor disclose such data or information to third parties nor to use it for purposes other than for the performance of this Agreement. This obligation of confidentiality shall not apply to information which is proven to be general public knowledge or which, through no action on the part of the recipient, becomes public knowledge. “Confidential Information” shall mean any non-public information, data, or documents disclosed or otherwise obtained under this Agreement, including without limitation any information and data relating to any or all of one of the Parties’ business.
7. Non-Exclusive Relationship. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed as a restriction or limitation of any kind on the ability of any Party to apply for or accept funding from any government funding agency or any other not-for-profit funding agency.
8. Termination.
a. Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time and without cause upon at least [one hundred eighty (180)] days prior written notice to the other Party. In the event that any Party shall materially breach the terms of this Agreement, and such breach is not cured within a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof has been given to such Party by the non-breaching Party, the non-breaching Party may immediately terminate this Agreement upon notice to the other Party.
b. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, all of the FOUNDATION’s and the BSA’s respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations as set forth herein shall terminate, provided that Sections 6 and 7 shall survive in perpetuity, and the Foundation shall be responsible for any unpaid Quarterly Payments.
9. Assignment and Delegation. Neither Party may assign this Agreement in its entirety or assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, in whole or in part.
10. Notices. Any notice, demand or request which may be permitted, required or desired to be given in connection with this Agreement shall be given in writing and directed to the Parties hereto as follows:

13. Independent Relationship. By entering into this Agreement, the Parties are not creating or forming a joint venture, partnership, or agency relationship, and nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted as creating a joint venture, partnership, or agency relationship between the Parties.

The Parties agree that in the event that any state or federal laws or regulations, now existing or hereafter enacted or promulgated, are interpreted by judicial decision, a regulatory agency having jurisdiction over the Parties or the subject matter of this Agreement, or by legal counsel to a Party hereto, in such a manner as to indicate that the terms, structure or effect of this Agreement may be in violation of such laws or regulations, or otherwise be illegal or be deemed unethical by any recognized agency, or may reasonably be expected to jeopardize the tax-exempt status of either Party, the Parties shall use their best efforts in good faith to amend this Agreement as necessary. To the maximum extent possible, any such amendment shall preserve the underlying arrangements between the Parties.
20. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.
21. Authorization of Agreement. Each Party represents and warrants that this Agreement has been duly and lawfully authorized by its Board of Directors, Board of Trustees, or other authorized representative, and that this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of such Party enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms.
22. Counterpart Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

March 24, 2015 Dear Representative: This winter’s unprecedented snowfall exposed a fragility in our public transportation system that left millions of MBTA riders with no way to get around. In order to gain a deeper understanding of the MBTA, Governor Baker appointed the Governor’s Special Panel to Review the MBTA to make recommendations about the costs, operations, and unmet needs at the Authority. In the weeks since that Commission was appointed, MBTA staff has estimated that the Authority has an unmet maintenance backlog reaching upwards of $6.7 billion, an estimate that doesn’t include the needs of the commuter rail system. With the transportation shutdowns in February, our economy lost $265 million per day. Our region came to a halt. One thing is clear: Massachusetts residents need and deserve reliable and safe public transportation. In order to meet those needs, we must make smart reforms at the MBTA, increasing transparency and accountability so that we have a reliable public transportation system that accurately informs its customers and provides information about the MBTA’s internal workings to the public. However it is equally, if not more important, that we invest adequately in the system so that it can meet the needs of today’s riders and the riders of the future, who will fuel the Commonwealth’s innovation economy. This level of investment has been inadequate for many years and we are paying for that lack of investment now. The enclosed press clips are intended to provide you with expert perspectives about how to repair and reinvest in the MBTA. As you evaluate the recommendations in the upcoming Special Panel report, we urge you to consider these important suggestions. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
