Mission statement for
the North Carolina
Chaoter of the American
lnstitute of Architects
The North Carolina Chapter of the
American Institute of Architects is the
recognized advocate for the
architectural profession in this state.
With a membership of nearly 1,500,
AIA North Carolina includes more than
80 percent of the state's architects.
Membership has increased
dramatically, from 215 in 1955 and 695
in 1975.
The advantage in membership lies in
the breadth of service provided. AIA
North Carolina publishes North
Carolina Architecture, a bi-monthly
magazine distributed to the state's
architects, engineers, contractors,
elected officials, civic leaders and
decision-makers. AIA North Carolina
also publishes a newsletter for its
members.
The Chapter staff, headquartered in
Raleigh, organizes a number of
meetings, highlighted by the AIA North
Carolina Summer Design Conference.
Members also have an opportunity to
supplement their education and
training through seminars offered on
subjects such as design trends,
marketing and management practice.
AIA North Garolina has become
increasingly involved in public policy
development and legislation. AIA North
Carolina opinions and positions are
actively sought by lawmakers when
dealing with legislation affecting
architecture, building codes,
construction and Planning.
In January 1993, AIA North Carolina
was honored for having the best overall
government affairs program of any AIA
component in America.
AIA North Carolina members work
and live in every corner of the state,
practicing in firms ranging from one to
200 persons. The membership is
divided into geographical sections,
located in Asheville, Charlotte,
Durham/Chapel Hill, Eastern North
Carolina, Piedmont (Greensboro/High
Point), Raleigh, Wilmington and
Winston-Salem.
AIA North Carolina offers its members
an opportunity to participate in a
variety of committees dealing with
topics such as historic preservation,
continuing education, environmentallysensitive
design and government
affairs.
The mission of AIA North Carolina is
to:
. Effectively represent the collective
architectural membership to the
general public and state government
while promoting the profession
. Provide meaningful services and
support our members to produce
excellence in architecture
. Coordinate the building industry and
profession to ensure better living
standards through an improved
