Lobby Day - May 8, 2019

The origin of most trade and professional associations can be traced back to one overarching need - a unified voice to advocate on behalf of a group of individuals who share similar interests. Like many professional associations, AIA New York State (AIANYS), an organization of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), came into being out of the need to coalesce and amplify the concerns of the profession, the built environment, and the protection of the public's health, safety, and welfare. 
If you are interested in joining us for the day in Albany, please contact Jay Woodcock (Government Affairs Director) at [email protected]

All you need to do is email us 10 images (preferably JPG - 300dpi), include your firm name, provide a short description of each photo, and list the name of the photographer.  Images of buildings, a specific image of a building element, community project, or a firm event.
