The Emerging Professionals Committee strives to create a supportive group for young professionals to advocate for continued growth and resiliency within the architectural industry and beyond. With the aim to advance Emerging Professional leadership skills within AIA, their firms, and local communities, EPC provides a conduit for streamlining resources, communication, and funding for relevant EP initiatives.

If you are an architecture student, a recent graduate or are newly licensed (< 10 years) and in the Portland metro area, join your peers to discuss topics and plan initiatives relevant for those early in their careers. EP Committee priorities include (but are not limited to) ARE testing/studying/support, community outreach & networking, leadership opportunities, mentoring and career strategizing.
