President-Elect: Kathryn Marek, AIA, NCARB, CSI, CCCA, SCIP
Kathryn Marek is pleased to be elected to the SCIP board this year in the role of President-Elect.

She is excited about getting more involved with SCIP and helping to strengthen the set of resources that SCIP offers – the most important of which is the connections among the members, to share their wealth of experience and knowledge.

Amy’s professional mission is to support the architectural community in making technical tasks, like spec writing and code research, more accessible and easily understood, through education, mentoring, and information sharing.

She has been elected to the Board of Directors for the Building Enclosure Council of Greater Detroit, the Detroit chapter CSI, and the Air Barrier Association of America (ABAA). She is also on RIB SpecLink’s Product Innovation Advisory Board, where she contributes new ideas for improving the tools and functionality of the program.
