Who we are

The National Associates Committee (NAC) dedicated to representing and advocating for AIA’s associate members in AIA’s national, state and local chapters. Associate members automatically become part of this AIA KnowledgeNet community.

FAQ: Who can be an Associate AIA member? Membership at the Associate level is open to people with a professional degree in architecture, those working under an architect or enrolled in AXP, or faculty. Learn more.

FAQ: What is a young architect and what is an emerging professional? Young architects are architects licensed up to ten years of initial licensure, and the name does not have any relationship to age. Emerging professionals are professionals who have completed their academic studies up to the point of licensure or up to 10 years after completion of their academic studies. Although young architects are now defined as distinct from emerging professionals, many components refer to these groups similarly. For example, a local YAF group may include emerging professionals and a local Emerging Professionals Committee may include young architects.

    The AIA/CRAN Emerging Professionals (EP) Committee is looking to expand! We would like to invite you to join in the only AIA Knowledge Community committee specifically geared towards helping emerging architectural professionals in the residential niche of our industry. The EP committee is dedicated to helping support, advocate for and educate recent graduates and emerging professionals (those pursuing licensure and those licensed less than 10 years) on the opportunities available to them in residential practice.

    The AIA/CRAN Emerging Professional Committee, a sub-committee to the AIA/CRAN Advisory Group, is represented by a 16-member executive committee including a chairperson, a past chairperson, a Vice Chairperson, a Second Vice Chairperson, an EP representative on the CRAN AG, and a secretary.  CRAN hosts many programs and events on both the local and national levels, including our annual Symposium, sessions at the AIA National Convention and our annual Knowledge Leadership Assembly (KLA).  For continuity and strength within CRAN's leadership, our goal is for EP committee members to move up to committee leadership positions and potentially serve on the CRAN Advisory Group.

    Please find application attached. To find out more about the CRAN EP Committee, please contact Lindsay Colwell, CRAN EP Chair, at AIACRANEP@gmail.com.
