Becky Magdaleno, CAE, will be the new executive vice president and CEO of the Florida Association of the American Institute of Architects.

We are fortunate to be able to have a continuity of leadership in the AIA Florida pipeline," said AIA Florida President Ignacio J. Reyes, AIA, who led the search committee that chose Magdaleno.
