AIA in Oregon reorganized at the start of this year from four local chapters and the state council to a single state chapter (AIA Oregon) with five local sections (AIA Bend, AIA Eugene, AIA Portland, AIA Salem, and AIA Southern Oregon). The former model included five boards, each with about a dozen board members to a single Board of Directors with 11 voting members. This includes a Director from each Section.
The Section Directors are expected to perform two very different duties; one is an active board member engaged with running the Chapter and directing the Executive Vice President, and the other is to lead the activities of the local sections. The term for a Section Director is two years.
