As covered by the Great Falls Tribune September 2011.

Dale Nelson, owner of Nelson Architects, is the incoming President for AIA Montana (American Institute of Architects) As President-elect, he was responsible for bringing the AIA Montana Annual Fall Conference to Great Falls – the first time in more than 20 years. The conference is being held at the Best Western Heritage Inn, begins Thursday, September 29 and closes Saturday, October 1. More than 60 architects from around the state are expected to attend.

“We are very excited about the program this year…it’s fresh and new,” says Nelson. “The focus is on the “business” of architecture aimed at giving mid-sized firms tools, tips and ideas for growing their business.”

Of special note is the “Green Tour” Saturday October 1st. Participants tour the offices of CTA, the Missouri River Courthouse, and United Materials Wind Generation –all green-building projects in the Great Falls area.
