AIA DE Associate News
It’s now easier to check out ARE study material. All the materials are now available for checkout from the AIA Delaware office at #5 Vandever in Wilmington. The checkout period will remain at two weeks, and you must still make your reservation requests at least a week in advance. Check-out day is every other Wednesday. To see which sections are available, go to http://calendar.yahoo.com/assocaiade.

To make a reservation, contact the AIA DE office at aiade@verizon.net with the section you would like to reserve and the Wednesday you would like to pick it up. Pick-up and drop-off are strictly between 11 a.m. and noon, so please be prompt.
Please remember that refundable $150 deposit is required when checking out the materials (to cover the cost of replacement if they are damaged or lost).

Total individual cost of ARE study materials for every section: $1,500.
Total cost of a year’s membership in AIA DE: about $200.
Potential savings: about $1,300!

If you know of colleagues planning to take the exam who are not Associate members of AIA DE, please let them know that it is much less expensive to study for the exam as an AIA DE member than to buy all the study materials on one’s own.

The AIA DE Associates will establish a regular study session for members planning to take the exam. Announcements of meeting times, locations and proposed discussion topics of each session will go out by e-mail.

If you have any questions, concerns or comments, please let us know.

Good luck on the exam!
