There are many opportunities to volunteer with the AIA. This interest call is tailored to Small Firm members. (Small firms are defined by AIA as having less than 10 full-time employees. They make up 74% of all firms, 11.5% of the staff and 7.40% of the billings in the architecture profession. SFX estimates small firm owners and employees make up 30% of AIA membership and program engagement.) On the call, we will walk through the governance structure of AIA National, the timeline for the Call for Volunteers (including SFX leadership and 70+ other committees), the required information for the applications, tips for navigating the opportunities to serve, and norms for serving as a national volunteer. We will leave plenty of time for questions at the end.
