The Architecture Foundation of Oregon has added three people to its board of directors: Mark Peckover, a principal with Stantec; Barbara Clement, an associate partner with FFA Architecture and Interiors; and Brian K. Annand, a shareholder with Geffen Mesher.
鈥淢ark has been serving on the finance and resource committee, and everyone recognized he is a great asset,鈥 AFO Executive Director Jane Jarrett said. 鈥淲ith Brian, it is very important for us to have someone on the board who has experience in financial practices.鈥
Clement is returning to AFO’s board after previously serving in 2004.
AFO’s goal is for its board to feature a diverse group. A governance committee chooses its board of directors.
鈥淲e try to have not more than one-third of the board (be) architects,鈥 Jarrett said. 鈥淲e have engineers and marketing persons on the board and others. We want a variety of talents and perspectives.鈥
The goal of the foundation is to support Oregon’s quality of life and create awareness of designed environments.
AFO was started in 1981 by five firms: BOORA (now Bora) Architects, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, SRG Partnership, Yost Grube Hall Architecture and Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Architects.
