Our work includes pursuing policy goals related to climate, housing, school safety, taxes, and other issues of concern to the architecture profession at the federal, state, and local levels.
We empower our members to share their knowledge with decision-makers and stakeholders to improve communities and create better built environments for all.

Equity in the built environment is essential to design excellence. Our community advocates for design and policy solutions to advance equitable built communities in Minnesota and beyond.
AIA Minnesota's advocacy work is grounded in an issues agenda that addresses key areas of concern for the profession and is updated annually.
AIA Minnesota members participate in the AIA Leadership Summit each year, and AIA provides tools and resources for reaching federal leaders on policy matters impacting our communities.
We support measures across industries that reduce carbon emissions, encourage energy-efficient design and whole-building life cycle assessments and design approaches, and foster resilient and regenerative buildings and systems.
