The annual Grassroots Leadership and Advocacy Event invites AIA’s premier leaders for three to four days of networking, professional development opportunities, and sharing and exchanging information and ideas.

Members are also given the opportunity to provide input on AIA initiatives and learn from their counterparts from around the country. The agenda includes an advocacy day for component leaders to communicate the AIA’s legislative agenda to members of Congress. The event is designed to help officers become more significant component and civic leaders.
