As building design and residential work keep evolving, one thing that doesn’t change is how much ongoing learning matters. New materials, changing codes, shifting client expectations, and emerging technologies all show up faster than ever—and it’s easy to feel like you’re supposed to just “keep up” on your own.

That’s exactly why AIBD puts so much energy into continuing education. We want you to have a place to go for focused, practical learning that’s built around what residential design professionals actually face day to day—not generic content that doesn’t connect to your work.

If you haven’t looked lately, we offer multiple ways to keep your skills fresh:

• Live webinars on technical design, high‑performance homes, business, and practice.
• Monthly “Coffee With Bernie” and High‑Performance Homes Team sessions that feel more like conversations than lectures.
• On‑demand courses you can take anytime to dig deeper into specific topics.
• Members‑only Office Hours where you can bring questions and get real‑world input from peers.

Our goal is simple: make it easier for you to stay current, confident, and connected—without having to figure everything out alone or track down scattered resources. When you invest in your own continuing education, you’re not just checking a CE box; you’re protecting your clients, your projects, and your business.

If it’s been a while since you joined us for a session, I’d encourage you to take a look at the education options on AIBD.org and pick one that speaks to where you are right now—whether that’s fine‑tuning your technical skills, growing your business, or just getting re‑energized about design.

Thanks for being part of the residential design community and for taking your own growth seriously. That’s what keeps our profession moving forward.

Best,
AIBD Education Committee
