2022 Committee Vacancies

A few AIA Louisiana committees still have vacancies! Might you be interested in getting a little more involved this next year? Most committee meetings are held virtually; time commitment depends on activities. Let us hear from you!

Are you interested in podcasting or vlogging? Do you have your own already? AIA LA wants to hear from you as we consider entering that space with topics related to architecture and are looking for volunteer members that have a passion/interest in doing this. Email inquiries@aiala.com and let us know what your interest is.

Do you get jazzed when talked about advocacy or the opportunity to connect with state issues affecting the profession of architecture? Do you think it’s pertinent to our industry? The Advocacy Advisory Circle might be a great place for you to connect and get involved. Sign-up to be a part of this compliment to the Advocacy Committee and join the conversation group!

Committees with at least one vacancy:

CRAN (Residential network)
