Sponsorship Opportunities
Did you know sponsors are the foundation of many of our programs? Their support of AIA Orange County allows us to expand our design awards; create events such as the Artwalk, member meetings, panel discussions, and COTE tours. Sponsorship further helps us build a stronger associates program to help members advance to licensure, and provide ADA seminars for license renewal.
As we look to the value of AIA Orange County membership, our goal is to expand the opportunities provided for you to learn, experience, and mingle with other members and our communities. We can achieve these goals through sponsorship support Click Here

Prior to joining the board of the Orange County Chapter of the AIA, I often wondered what the AIA does on a legislative front. If you're like me, you may have questioned where our annual dues go in regards to advocacy issues, and what positive contributions it has made to our industry. We now have information that may answer these quandaries and pleased to make them available to AIAOC members. At the AIA California Council (AIACC) Board of Directors meeting on July 25th, the AIACC Advocacy Committee handed out a flier highlighting dozens of initiatives that have successfully strengthen our profession. Click on the link below to read more about the AIACC's success stories. This information will be posted to the AIAOC website and updated as material is made available by our regional chapter. Please contact the AIAOC at [email protected] with any questions.

Some of you may remember when we transitioned candidates from ARE 3.1 to  ARE 4.0. It is safe to say that the Council learned several valuable lessons from that transition that we have applied to the ARE 5.0 transition plan.
