Issues & AdvocacyState

State House of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts

Architects need a strong voice on a wide range of issues: community planning, housing, sustainability, building codes, professional licensing, project delivery, historic preservation, and many others. The State & Local Relations team helps municipal and state Chapters to advocate for legislation that protects Architects’ professional interests.

Key Issues and Resources
At any given time, individual states may be faced with legislation that can positively or negatively impact our members. State Relations has organized State Issues into three categories for ease of access:

State Government Network (SGN)
The SGN gives state chapters the resources to advocate effectively within state government and encourages communication between components.

Advocacy 365 - How to Get Involved
Through the AIA, Architects have a unified voice on the business and the design issues important to all of us.
