Did you know? AIA Member Benefits!
AIA NATIONAL - SMALL FIRM EXCHANGE (SFX) NETWORK

The mission of the  AIA Small Firm Exchange (SFx) is to advance the mutual interests of architects practicing in small firms. The objectives of the AIA SFx are three-fold:

1. Advocate for small firms within the AIA and in outside organizations and agencies.
2. Promote leadership in Small Firm professional development and practice; and
3. Facilitate and support the local component round tables and small firm networks.

Why is this beneficial to me? this fits most firm structures of under 12 employees - it offers a free network of nearly 2,000 AIA members with a small firm/business model template, shared compensation reports, library of documents, discussion forum, blogs, and external data links! A great resource for all small firms! 

(*Each month we'll share a potentially unknown and relevant AIA National resource offered to you free with your membership that you may not be taking advantage of!*)
