Eskew+Dumez+Ripple teamed up with Portland, Oregon’s Skylab to present at this year’s AIA Convention. Over 300 hundred people showed up to hear the panel speak about the five mindshifts that help small to medium-sized firms set themselves apart in an ever-shifting market. From financial metrics to teaming structures, the panel discussed the following five topics with a mix of audience polls, presentation slides, and good ol’ fashion discussion:
- Lateral Leadership
- Collaboration
- Transparent Metrics
- Diversification of Services
- Culture of Giving Back
Georgia Tech Living Building Challenge: What We LearnedEskew+Dumez+Ripple
In late 2015 early 2016, the Georgia Institute of Technology conducted a remarkable ‘Ideas Competition’ exploring how to make Living Building Challenge certified buildings affordable and replicable in the hot, humid South. Given an entire precinct of campus as a potential site, three finalist design teams (each with architects, landscape architects, and engineers) were challenged to produce specific design proposals testing how a building providing labs, classrooms, and offices could be integrated into a restored landscape on a modest budget. Georgia Tech’s staff, faculty, and students observed throughout, with the School of Architecture’s design studios paralleling the competition.
The architecture firm of Eskew+Dumez+Ripple (EDR) was privileged to be part of one of the three finalist teams. For 90 intense days, we collaborated with architects from two other firms (Collins Cooper Carusi and Hellmuth&Bicknese), landscape architects from Andropogon and HGOR, engineers from Newcomb & Boyd, Point Energy Innovations, pattern r+d, Sherwood Design Engineers, Long Engineering and Uzun+Case, and most crucially the cost estimators of the Palacio Collaborative. Given so many players at so many locations, we relied on free-form messaging platforms like Slack for day-to-day communications, and captured what we learned through entries in a shared blog we called The Hive. This document is comprisedof selections from these communications streams, curated by the 2015-2016 EDR Research Fellow Marina Michael. This effort has been transformative for our team members. By sharing what we’ve learned, we hope it can be transformative for you.

How do you solve an equation with nothing but variables?
One of the many challenges facing the US Army Corps of Engineers is coastal damage caused by waves, wind and surge. Hurricanes have significantly increased the vulnerability of coastal areas to natural disasters. The Corps aims to reduce these coastal risks and “improve resilience to these hazards through an integrated approach that draws from the full array of coastal risk reduction measures.”
The Exchange Club of Fort Bend is making plans for its sixth annual Duck Golf Classic to be held on Monday, October 20, 2014. The success of this event is credited largely to our sponsors, who lend their names and financial support to the event.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

I want to start off by thanking everyone in our district who attended the National Convention in New Orleans. As the
host district, our members did not disappoint the crowd. It was a very proud moment for the Texas Louisiana Gulf
Coast District. There are a lot of Exchangites from around the country looking forward to coming to Houston in
2016. With the NOLA experience under our belts, I can’t wait to see what we can do in Houston.
This year can be a very special year for our district. The district leadership team, including myself, is committed to
supporting all of the clubs in their efforts to grow, strengthen and expand Exchange by adding new members and
starting new clubs throughout the district.
I am blessed with a terrific team of leaders and officers assisting me this year as we chart a course for success and
look forward to getting to know all of the clubs and witnessing first-hand the efforts put forth by our great members.
As I have always preached, it does not take much effort to bring a guest to your meetings. Without guests, we will
not grow. Without growth, we will not be able to serve our communities.
In addition to our district board, we have several other resources to assist your club in efforts to grow and start new
clubs. If you have ideas for a new club, a new project, or a new way to do things, let your district director know
about it. There may be help just around the corner.
Our district by-laws include “Increasing fellowship between clubs within the district”. My goal
is to make this the year that more clubs take interest, assist, and most importantly, learn from
each other. Together we can make this a very positive year for the district, your club, and
Exchange.
God bless all of you and your families.

TREASURER’S REPORT
Texas Louisiana Gulf Coast District is in a financially sound position.
Dear Fellow Exchangites,
As I leave my three years as your treasurer, I wanted to update you on the state of the District's
finances. When I took over we had $1,100 in the bank and $2,200 in unpaid bills. At June 30, we have
$10,500 in the bank and $1,500 in current bills due. For 2013 and 2014 we had net income of $3,900
and $6,600, respectively. The District is once again financially sound and in a position to host our National
Convention this year and in 2016. Please give your thanks to the District officers of the past two years who
worked hard to stretch every dollar and make do with what was available. They made this financial
turnaround possible.

Exchangites help at Champion Kids Camp.
Mission Statement:
Champions Kids Camp is dedicated to the nurturing of children
who have survived a traumatic injury, illness, or personal loss,
such as the loss of a parent or sibling.
Through a week-long camp, children between the ages of 8
and 12 are able to heal from the “emotional scarring” they
have experienced in their young lives. Since its creation in
2001, thousands of children have come through our program
and we receive testimonials each year of how their lives have
been changed forever!
The main objective at camp is to help instill a sense of pride in
every child and let them know that they’re not victims, they’re
survivors, and therefore, Champions!
Champions Kids Camp is a non-profit organization that was
created in the summer of 2001. 501(c)(3) #05-0541975

EXCHANGE EDUCATION
Founded March 27, 1911, in Detroit, Michigan, by businessmen who wanted to “exchange” ideas, Exchange had
its beginnings as a luncheon gathering of businessmen known as the Boosters’ Club. Desiring to “exchange”
ideas, the members shared stories, provided business advice to one another and began to dream about what
they might accomplish with their collective talents and mutual interests. For the past 103 years, the volunteer
efforts of Exchange Club members have supported the needs of the country and of local communities. With 700
clubs and over 21,000 members throughout the United States and Puerto Rico, Exchange is the country’s oldest
service organization operating exclusively in the United States. Exchange sponsors activities designed to
benefit, award and develop our nation’s youth, promote crime prevention, serve senior citizens and recognize
military and public safety service providers. Exchange also promotes Americanism programs, and its national
project is the prevention of child abuse.

EXCHANGE COVENANT OF SERVICE
Accepting the divine privilege of single and collective responsibility as life’s noblest gift, I covenant with my fellow Exchangites:
• To consecrate my best energies to the uplifting of Social, Religious, Political and Business ideals;
• To discharge the debt I owe to those of high and low estate who have served and sacrificed that the heritage of American
citizenship might be mine;
• To honor and respect law, to serve my fellowmen, and to uphold the ideals and institutions of my Country;
• To implant the life-giving, society-building spirit of Service and Comradeship in my social and business relationships;
• To serve in Unity with those seeking better conditions, better understandings, and greater opportunities for all.
