Lead. Connect. Make an impact.
AIA volunteers are an essential part of the organizational structure and the work of the AIA. Our collective efforts are built on a system of committee actions linking AIA with relevant advancements throughout the field of architecture. Committees provide a forum for members with varied interests to be involved in the work of the Institute and to share their expertise on impactful issues. AIA committee service helps strengthen the Institute, the profession, the committee members themselves, and the broader communities we serve.
