The driving force of the AIAS is growing membership and creating leaders out of its members.
The AIAS works hard to champion its future leaders through AIAS Grassroots Leadership Conference programming. Each year, AIAS Grassroots serves as an invaluable experience for chapter leaders to educate themselves on the essentials of running a local AIAS chapter. This year, the 2020-2021 Quad Directors have developed a series of sessions that go over the best practices of chapter leadership. Don’t miss them!

GIMMIE FIVE
In this interactive session, you will learn about the organizations that govern the practice of architecture. This session will illustrate how five organizations work together to guide the world of architecture, what each represents, and how the AIAS plays a huge role in connecting them. We’ll discuss what the various groups do, why they are important, and how they benefit you as an AIAS member and a student of design. The AIAS does not work alone, so join us to hear some of the other ways you can make a difference!
