Professional Development Request EMAIL Template

Dear [BOSS’S NAME],

I hope your week has been going well! I wanted to share an event with you that I think would be a valuable professional development opportunity.

The Texas Society of Architects (TxA) is hosting its TxA26 Annual Conference & Design Expo on October 15–17 in San Antonio. The conference features keynote speakers including Amale Andraos, AIA, HFAIIC, and Dan Wood, FAIA, co-founders of WORKac. It also offers architect-led tours that provide CE credit, networking events for emerging professionals, continuing education sessions covering topics such as TBAE rules and regulations, and a Design Expo showcasing the latest products and technologies.

Attending TxA26 would help me develop and strengthen my professional skills, and I believe the knowledge, resources, and connections I gain would benefit both my professional development as well as our team.

Would attending this conference be eligible for professional development funding, paid time off, or reimbursement as a business expense?

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Best,
[YOUR NAME]
