The Emerging Professionals Committee organizes regular events throughout the year, including a seminar at the annual AIA Minnesota Conference on Architecture, as well as an outreach event for architecture students each year.

Annual Events

Licensure Luau
The Emerging Professionals Committee recognizes the past year’s newly licensed architects with a special social event at the end of the year.
