O'Driscoll Leaving AIA San Francisco

O'Driscoll Leaving AIA San Francisco

After 12 years at the helm of AIA San Francisco, Margie O’Driscoll announced Monday that she is stepping down as its Executive Director. Under O’Driscoll  the chapter initiated several significant programs, tapping into the city’s passion for architecture, design, and social conscience. These include its home tours (the first of its kind in the Bay Area); the hugely popular Architecture and the City Festival; measures and collaborations to address issues like licensure, intern development, and pro bono work; and, with local radio station KALW, the successful show 99 percent invisible. The chapter also undertook a renovation of its offices inside the historic Hallidie Building. “The more we tried the more enthusiastic and even insatiable the public became about the programs we did,” said O’Driscoll.
