Have I got a story for you. \u00a0Much to my amazement I received an invitation to become a Herman Miller Young Intern Architect at Healthcare Design 2010. \u00a0But wait, there was a catch. \u00a0A few weeks went by and I hadn’t heard from anyone at AIA, AAH or Herman Miller. \u00a0After buying my airline tickets and booking my hotel I received a call from my contact at HM. \u00a0There had been some confusion and that I had not been awarded. Goodbye.<\/p>\n

Well that seemed odd. \u00a0I had an email indicating I had won, plus a follow up phone call shortly after that. \u00a0I bought tickets and everything since it was all reimbursable. \u00a0I’d have to say I felt a little cast aside…but why? What was the mix up? \u00a0I sent everything I had onto Doug (the managing principle at the firm I was working at) and he got in touch with someone. \u00a0Since things had already been purchased and not refundable, he convinced them to follow through on their original invitation in the email. \u00a0Just like that, I was going to HCD10 in Vegas! \u00a0I still wonder sometimes as to what was said between Doug and the HM folks. Much to my disappointment though, the only time I was listed as a recipient was at the conference. \u00a0A large photo of everyone was taken and was up on HM’s healthcare site but for the most part I can not find any source siting me as a recipient. \u00a0A bit of an issue when you tell people you’re \u00a0a HM Young Architect Fellow. \u00a0At least I still have my badge from the conference.<\/p>\n
