Category: National Allied Individual Membership

Are you a designer, artist, engineer, or contractor? Are you working in a field that is related to architecture? National individual allied membership is designed for those individuals who do not qualify as AIA or Assoc. AIA members but are employed outside the architecture practice and are involved in positions allied to the field of architecture.

The AIA is a three-tiered organization. The national allied membership does not include membership at the state and local levels.  If you are interested in networking locally contact your local chapter to learn about their local allied membership.

National allied members share in all Institute resources, programs, services, and activities, establishing relationships with architects that go beyond sales and specifications.

AIA Member Communities
Member Communities are your opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals to learn, collaborate, and share ideas in areas of professional interest. Increase your understanding of a specific area of the profession, from sustainable green design to technology in practice.
