One of the challenges we have is identifying interested and qualified candidates from across the state to improve our geographic and cultural diversity. Interested in pursuing fellowship? Let us know and we will add you to the watch list for the 2016 Fellowship Workshop.

The good news is that your dues level is not changing, and will remain at their 2015 levels. However, your dues will include $10 earmarked for the AIA Georgia Political Action Committee (PAC), meant for 2016 contributions to selected elected officials who influence legislation that affects the architecture profession. You have the right to Opt-Out of this $10 amount, and instead have it go to our general operating account and support other AIA Georgia activities. You have until March 30, 2016 to exercise this option by following the steps on our website.
