Following the new AIA National Member Services guide, the AIA Detroit Executive Director must attend the CACE Annual Meeting at least once every three years.

From the AIA National website:
The 2016 CACE Annual Meeting is the place for component executives to become refreshed, retooled, and rejuvenated, in the company of colleagues and friends. The meeting offers professional development and CACE peer networking opportunities to discuss issues of concern to you and your component. CACE members also engage in discussions about component and AIA programs and initiatives and exchange information and ideas. There are also opportunities to conduct business and enjoy the celebration that honors the accomplishments of their own colleagues
