Hello AIA Oregon Members,
It’s that time of year again—AIA membership renewal notices are now being sent out from our National Headquarters! Take a moment to review yours and renew promptly so you can keep enjoying all the great benefits of being part of the AIA Oregon community.
Here’s a quick reminder of what your membership offers:
Connection: Whether through local events, conferences, or online forums, AIA Oregon offers countless opportunities to meet and connect with fellow architects and professionals. Build your network and foster meaningful, lasting relationships.
Education: Stay ahead of industry trends with access to a wide range of educational resources—online courses, webinars, and in-person workshops designed to sharpen your skills and keep you up-to-date.
Advocacy: AIA is your voice. We work tirelessly to protect and advance the interests of architects, from lobbying for legislation that strengthens our profession to promoting ethical standards. AIA is committed to defending the role of architects and ensuring that our expertise is valued and protected at every level.
New Programs: We're excited to launch Circle, a social platform that offers free, on-demand continuing education (CE) and a space to connect with architects statewide. We’re also rolling out Architect's Table—a casual, in-person gathering over lunch where you can discuss your work and deepen your connections within the architecture community.
What’s Coming Next: Look forward to monthly in-person socials across the state, new free on-demand CE courses, and a few surprises we’re not ready to share just yet!
Professional Development: AIA Oregon offers leadership and mentorship programs that provide invaluable support for your career development and personal growth.
Exclusive Discounts: Save on essential AIA-endorsed products and services, including insurance, software, managed investments, and continuing education courses.
A Note on Dues:
While AIA National has made a small adjustment to national dues in line with the CPI, AIA Oregon is keeping our dues at 2024 levels. We recognize the rising costs we all face and are committed to making membership as affordable as possible while continuing to add value to your experience.
By renewing your membership, you’re not only supporting the profession but also investing in your own growth and success. We encourage you to take full advantage of everything AIA has to offer.
Thank you for being a valued member of AIA Oregon. We’re excited to continue serving you in the year ahead!
