AIA Leadership Interest Form

AIA Leadership Interest Form

Annually, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) solicits an open call for candidates for the AIA Board of Directors, AIA officers, and other AIA leadership positions.

Candidates for the AIA Board of Directors

Any Architect member in good standing may declare candidacy for national office as an elected AIA officer or Director. Any individual eligible under the Bylaws for selection as an At-large Director by the delegates at the AIA convention may declare candidacy for that office. A member or other individual becomes a candidate, and therefore subject to the campaign rules stated in Section 6.4 of the Rules of the Board, by announcing candidacy at the last Board meeting of the year, by publicly declaring themselves as such at any meeting comprised largely of AIA members or on social media, or by notifying the Secretary in writing, indicating the office sought.

For more information about declaring candidacy for the AIA national office contact Caitlin Couture, CAE, Senior Director, Governance & Awards (caitlincouture@aia.org).
