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.

    If you will be in ATL for Greenbuild next week, here's a meet-up for your dance card: Marsha Maytum, FAIA, chair of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Committee on the Environment, and Terri Stewart, Hon. AIA, Senior VP of Knowledge and Practice at AIA, will be on the Expo Floor to talk about Climate Action at the AIA.

    Thursday, November 21: 215-245pm
    at the BuildingGreen/LEEDuser booth #1709

    This is your chance to get the skinny from the sources: the what, the when, and the how, as in how you, your organization, and your community can get involved in the practice transformation that is under way.
