As before, you may opt to assign yourself to a local section based on your work or home address. You may also decline membership in a local section. However, if you wish to pursue a local section leadership opportunity such as board member or committee chair, you do need to be a member of that local section.

 

Identification with a local section also helps AIA Indiana connect you with applicable local leadership, programs and opportunities. If you wish to change or opt out of your local section membership, you must contact AIA Indiana Excutive Director Jason Shelley, 317-634-6993,  [email protected].
