Get involved! Nominations are due October 1st.

The American Institute of Architects actively promotes a diverse profession, including race, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability or sexual orientation. We strive to be an inclusive member group representing diversity of thought, geographic diversity, both traditional and non-traditional practice. 

The National Associates Committee (NAC) is the voice of Associate members of AIA. Associates (19% of national AIA membership) are united by their desire to advance their careers while serving as a catalyst for progress in the Institute and the profession. The NAC consists of the Advisory Committee (AdCom) and the state volunteer leaders (State/Territory Associate Representatives (STARs). In total, there will be 63 members of the NAC in 2025. 

Review the full position description. Nominations for 2025-2026 state reps are due October 1st (which means internal AIA chapter elections happen before that), so reach out to your state chapter to express interest today! 

Time commitment: Terms are two years with one required in-person (travel paid) annual meeting in Q1, monthly workgroup calls, and quarterly full committee calls. Expect to dedicate 4-5 hours per month to this role.
