Who We Are

The mission of the AIA Small Firm Exchange (SFx) is to advance the mutual interests of architects practicing in small firms. The objectives of the AIA SFx are three-fold:

1. Advocate the value of small firms, the national SFx, and local SFx groups, both within the AIA and to the public.

2. Curate and disseminate the most pertinent resources and information, from the AIA & elsewhere, that benefit small firms.

3. Inform the AIA of current issues facing small firms and areas in which current resources/information are lacking.

Approximately 75% of all firms within the AIA are small firms (less than 10 employees), which equates to 14,459 small firms within the organization.

~26.8% = sole practitioners = 5,173

~33.5% = 1-5 employees = 6,459

~14.7% = 5-10 employees = 2,827

For context, small firms share of staff is 16.0% and share of billings is 12.0%

We need to find ways to leverage that size for collaboration and influence, just like the individual large firms do.

    LIVING FUTURE is virtual this year ... and starts tomorrow!

    2-day live event: May 7-8, 2020

    6 weeks of content: May 19-June 25

    The Living Future annual conference is a platform for the green building movement's most innovative leaders to come together to ideate and exchange expertise. Living Future 2020 Online will be a true 'un'-conference that embraces the theme of "Sustaining Hope Within Crisis", originally intended to reflect the climate emergency but even more relevant in light of the global COVID-19 pandemic.

    #LF20 will be a place to connect, collaborate, and sustain ourselves-and hope-through not only this crisis, but also give us the tools to sustain whatever continues to challenge us beyond today. More than a collection of workshops, panels and virtual opportunities for building community and online engagement, LF20 Online is the place for the green building, sustainability, and social justice community to come together at this moment.
