Advocacy

Let your voice be heard

Maryland statehouse, Annapolis, MD

As our mission statement reads; The Chesapeake Bay Chapter of the American Institute of Architects is committed to advancing the architectural profession to enhance the quality of life for all people. Advocacy is a large part of what we do.  Our board, comprised of members from across our chapter region, is continually offering insight and sharing issues facing us all on a local level.  We also work closely with AIA Maryland as a conduit for our members such that their concerns are expressed at the state level.  

If you have an issue you would like to see addressed, please contact us.

Congressional Representatives

Congress recognizes that architects are vital to crafting public policy solutions that impact their constituents. Use the AIA Architect Action Center to directly message them. The more architects who weigh in, the more effective our collective influence will be to positively impact these and other important issues facing the profession, our businesses, and the communities we serve.
