I am excited to share the National Associates Committee (NAC) 2025 Annual Report!
It has been an honor to serve this year as Chair of the NAC and I am excited about the progress we have made. From elevating Associate voices and expanding advocacy, to launching new resources and building strategic partnerships-this report captures a year of bold leadership, inclusive action, and meaningful progress.
Key Initiatives:
· Advocacy Toolkit to support local and national engagement
· Future Focused Campaign spotlights 16 inspiring Associate stories.
· Sustainability Credential Guide to support climate-focused career paths
· Expanded Mentorship & Outreach across states and AIAS chapters.
· Associate Representation on AIA committees and councils.
· New Resources for STARs to advocate for voting rights and visibility
· Strategic Partnerships through national programming and awards.
Whether you're an emerging professional or further along in your career, the NAC's work will inspire you to see what's possible when Associates lead with purpose.
NAC! NAC! NAC!
