Christopher Kelley Leadership Development Program year-end celebration

Join AIA Colorado and the Christopher Kelley Leadership Development Program community as we celebrate the 2026 class of scholars and another year of developing the next generation of leaders in Colorado’s architecture profession.

This year-end gathering brings together current and past scholars, program sponsors, leadership mentors, Executive Committee members, and prospective scholars for an evening of connection and celebration. We’ll recognize the accomplishments of the 2026 class, announce the 2027 Executive Committee, and share opportunities to stay involved and continue developing as a leader within AIA Colorado and the profession.

More than a graduation, this event is an opportunity to reconnect with the growing CKLDP community, meet people across different years of the program, and hear firsthand about the experiences, relationships, and leadership opportunities that grow from participating.

Throughout the evening, enjoy drinks and passed appetizers while connecting with scholars, mentors, sponsors, and AIA Colorado leaders.

A program featuring brief remarks, scholar recognition, and the announcement of the 2027 Executive Committee will be accompanied by photos and reflections from the past year.
