Introducing the 2025-2026 AIAS Board of Directors! These folks worked hard during FORUM from January 8-11 giving speeches, meeting Chapter leaders, and hosting meet-and-greets to earn the votes of our Council of Presidents. They now embark on a transition journey that will last until Grassroots this summer when they are officially inaugurated on the first night on the conference. And what a conference! Please join us in giving these people a big round of applause!

Our Board of Directors is a student-majority group of (mostly) volunteers who meet throughout the year to conduct the business of the AIAS. We also have four Liaisons to our Allied Organizations on our Board of Directors – AIA, ACSA, NCARB, and NOMA. Our Liaisons serve three-year terms and keep us updated on the happenings of their respective organizations and provide the voice of the members they represent. Our Executive Director is an ex-officio (non-voting) member of the Board. If you are interested in being on our Board, you only have to wait 365 short days until the election next year! Elections for the 2026-2027 Board of Directors will be held at our in-person FORUM conference in January 2026.
