In order to encourage excellence in architecture, the Louisiana Chapter of the American Institute of Architects conducts an annual Awards Program. Through this program, AIA Louisiana seeks to honor works of distinction by its members and bring to public attention outstanding examples of architecture.

Because such recognition not only benefits the architects honored, but also benefits all Louisiana architects, AIA Louisiana should strive to optimize the public’s awareness and appreciation for the Awards Program through appropriate public relations efforts.

The AIA Louisiana Awards program is a function solely of AIA Louisiana and participation in the program is limited to its current members.

AIA Louisiana will appoint the next Regional Representative for the Gulf States Region on the AIA Strategic Council . The three-year term begins in December 2019.

The Gulf States region includes Louisiana, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama. Representatives serve staggered terms. The appointment of Regional Representatives is rotated among the five states.



The AIA Louisiana Board of Directors encourages members interested in serving on the national AIA Strategic Council to submit a letter of interest with a statement of qualifications.

The AIA Louisiana Political Action Committee (LAPAC) seeks to inform candidates for state and local government offices about public policy issues related to architecture, planning and construction. The committee actively supports selected candidates who are respected, capable, and informed on issues of interest to the architectural profession. Being a member of LAPAC is extremely important because there is strength in numbers, and we MUST have our voices heard in the legislature, therefore please visit our website and donate today at the button below and consider it an investment in your bottom line!
