Advocating for Our Profession
AIA is the voice of architecture to legislators at the federal, state, and local level.
The work of architects is essential to the well-being of every citizen. The voice of AIA architects, as thought and action leaders, is essential to designing a better future for our country, states, cities, townships and neighborhoods. By advocating solutions within the built environment to address issues like school safety, climate change and affordable housing, architects are at the forefront of solving these critical challenges.

State & Local Issues
Architects must have a seat at the table when important civic decisions are made and must play a vital role in crafting public policy solutions that address the most prominent issues facing states and cities.
The more architects work with state and local elected officials, the greater the positive impact on these and other important issues facing the profession, the business, and our communities. The AIA Delaware Government Advocacy Committee welcomes all who wish to participate in state and local advocacy efforts. |
Federal Issues
AIA represents the interests of architects before federal government and policy-making bodies.
By taking action, being involved in your community, and engaging legislators, as a Citizen Architect, you are the driving force behind AIA's advocacy efforts. Tackle urgent issues today by tapping into information, tools, and resources to develop skills as an advocate. |
