Work-on-the-Boards is a monthly survey conducted by the AIA's Economics and Market Research group. The survey of firm principals and partners allows participants to track business conditions as they change. Participation enables you to compare your firm to others, track the economy and local business conditions, and use data to target business opportunities.

The panel is open to any AIA member who is principal/partner of their firm. The survey is administered completely online, and you will receive an invitation to participate the first week of each month. Participants also receive a special announcement before the report is available to the general public each month, in the AIArchitect.

If you are a firm principal or partner and would like to join the survey panel or for more information, please e-mail workontheboards@aia.org. You may also join the panel by completing the background information form here "Work On The Boards" Firm Background Information
