New Membership Benefits

We are always working to improve the value of membership.

Did you know that we’ve added three new programs in the last three months to increase your membership value?

Architect’s Table

Get paired with other architecture professionals near you once a month to share lunch with them and grow your connections in the architecture community. Free for members and 8 dollars per month for non-members.



Circle

Circle is a place to connect, learn, and share your story. Connect with members across the state to deepen your community. Get access to on-demand CE credit courses. Deepen your connection with AIA Oregon’s members by sharing what you’re working on and what you’ve learned. Circle is only for AIA Oregon members.

Job Board

We’ve made it easier for you to get a job in architecture by sharing our state job board with recruiters across the states. Adding your profile to our job board will make it easier for you to find your first architecture job or step up and into your dream role.

AIA Oregon Young Architect Representative Position Open

Young Architect Representative for Oregon

The AIA Oregon Board of Directors has the opportunity to appoint an Oregon member to serve as Oregon’s Young Architect Representative (YAR). This is a national leadership position within the AIA, representing young architects across the state.

A YAR is an AIA member who has been licensed for less than 10 years and who serves as a liaison between the state chapter and the Young Architects Forum (YAF) focusing on issues relevant to Emerging Professionals (EPs; architects in the early stage of their career) and architects licensed less than 10 years.

This is a two-year term, beginning 1 January 2024.

AIA Oregon Architecture Awards Results

…And the Winner is…

The jury is completing deliberations and the winners of the 2024 Oregon Architecture Awards will soon know their projects have been selected to exemplify design excellence in the state of Oregon. These prestigious honors are an integral part of our AIA Oregon Social Justice Action Plan – to promote and celebrate all of our firms – small, large, women and minority-owned businesses – by amplifying stories in our program and by applying an intentional DEI lens to the jury composition itself. We hope that this elevates the conversation of impactful, thoughtful, and equitable design in the state of Oregon year after year.

We will also let entrants who were not successful know about their opportunity to schedule a debriefing that often gives constructive jury feedback and could help you create a subsequently successful submission next year. This is accomplished in a 15–30-minute phone call or zoom that you’ll easily be able to schedule from a bookings link in the email you’ll receive. If you’ve not received this communication by October 31, please feel free to contact us.

Everyone who entered this year will also receive a survey about the process that will help us further refine the way we collect entries and make sure the programs we foster for design celebration are impactful, equitable, and most importantly, accessible to everyone who wants to participate. We’d like to know how your experience was and hear suggestions on how to elevate our experience for everyone who participates. When you see the survey make sure you respond – because you’ll be entered to win two tickets to the Oregon Architecture Awards Gala at the Portland Art Museum on November 14. It won’t be the same without you there!
