Happy New Year, DBIA‑WPR community!
As your 2026 President, I’m proud to share our first Quarterly Newsletter, providing members, partners, and chapters with a clear and strategic overview of the work underway across our region.
Our Strategic Planning Summit this past December provided momentum and clarity for the year ahead. The discussions were candid, the ideas inspiring, and the consensus strong: 2026 is a year to elevate our impact, sharpen our messaging, and strengthen our support for Owners and practitioners across all sectors.
This quarterly update marks the start of a coordinated year-long effort to advance Design‑Build excellence throughout the Western Pacific Region.
Throughout Q1 and the year ahead, DBIA‑WPR is committed to three core priorities:
1. Expand Design‑Build Adoption Across All Sectors
We will champion DBIA Best Practices, support Owner education, improve RFQ/RFP alignment, and expand Progressive Design‑Build leadership across vertical, horizontal, water, and infrastructure markets.
2. Foster a Multi‑Sector Collaborative Community
We will broaden engagement across Owners, practitioners, advisors, trade partners, students, and young professionals, ensuring a stronger regional network.
3. Enhance Communication & Leverage Technology
We will modernize our communication tools, expand digital engagement, and elevate our educational programming through new delivery platforms.
This year, we acknowledge an important transition for our region.
Gloria Moore, who has served DBIA‑WPR with dedication for over 15 years, has accepted an expanded role with DBIA National as the Western U.S. Field Representative.
Her leadership, vision, and continuous support strengthened DBIA‑WPR and helped build one of the most engaged regions in the nation.
While we will miss her regular presence, we celebrate her expanded national influence and look forward to ongoing collaboration.
Thank you, Gloria, for your extraordinary contributions to DBIA‑WPR.
During the Strategic Planning Summit, our Board articulated a powerful, unified vision for where DBIA‑WPR is headed:
