ALLIED MEMBERSHIP
Allied membership is another membership category within the AIA. This is an individual who works in a field related to the practice of architecture. Included in this group are landscape architects, engineers, planners, interior designers, graphic designers, and professionals in government, education, industry, research, journalism, or others who will provide a meaningful contribution by virtue of their employment, profession, or interest.

Allied membership is at the local level in one of the state chapters (either AIA Minneapolis, AIA Saint Paul, or AIA Northern Minnesota), and at the state level (AIA Minnesota). Membership benefits include those listed above for regular members. Allied members are also invited to join AIA Minnesota committees and participate in continuing education seminars, lectures or other events.

Membership dues for Allied members are $115.00 for the first year. If you are interested in learning more about Allied membership or have questions, please feel free to call our office at 612-338-6763 or email Amber Allardyce, Membership Director.
