| How
to Join
Thank you for your interest in joining
AIA Minnesota!
AIA Minnesota is an active, vital service organization
committed to professional development, public service, accessible
information, and continuous opportunities.
AIA Minnesota is recognized throughout the nation as one of the
strongest components of the AIA. Whether an intern, associate, or
AIA member, you would belong to a local chapter--either Minneapolis
(Minneapolis, its suburbs, and the southwestern part of the state),
St. Paul (St. Paul, its suburbs, and the southeastern part of the
state), or Northern Minnesota (Duluth and the northern part of the
state). In addition to affiliation with a local chapter, you would
be a member of Minnesota's state organization--AIA Minnesota, and
the national AIA.
AIA Minnesota is a member-driven organization. Our members plan
meetings, serve on task forces, and direct the future of the profession
through service in the AIA. We urge all of our members, especially
our new members, to serve on one of our many committees as a way
to get involved. Please click here to see the committee list and sign-up sheet.
The benefits of membership are numerous--as a member of AIA Minnesota
you would receive a one-year subscription to Architecture Minnesota
magazine, an award-winning publication, as well as our monthly newsletter,
Matrix, and information on upcoming programs, seminars and events.
You would also receive support for your profession, opportunities
for continuing education, be able to stay in-tune with current news
and events relating to architecture including legislation.
If you would like more information, and a membership packet to be
