We look forward to a long and successful partnership with the SDA.Īt its most basic level, risk management for design firms includes selecting and signing sound contracts. Last year, past a/e ProNet President, Leslie Pancoast, made two presentations at EDSymposium12 in Portland, Oregon, and current a/e ProNet President Jeff Todd spoke at EDSymposium13 in Williamsburg, Virginia earlier this year. Both SDA and a/e ProNet are dedicated to providing a/e firms the necessary tools to better manage risk and improve firm management. ~ Deborah A Gill, CPA, CGMA, CDFA, 2013 SDA PresidentĪs announced in the June/July 2013 issue of SDA Today, “ a/e ProNet will pay one half of a new SDA member’s dues if that member’s insurance agent belongs to a/e ProNet… Chapters can partner with the local broker and reach out to principals and managers in their network.”Ī/e ProNet and the SDA will also collaborate on a number of educational events, including the SDA’s annual EDSymposium conference. The proper management of professional risk factors such as contract administration, project administration, and document management are known factors in reducing professional risk in a/e firms. In May this year, the Society for Design Administration (SDA), the nation’s largest professional organization for architectural and engineering design firm administrators and managers, announced its endorsement of a/e ProNet.
