AIA Wyoming is doing amazing things! AIA Wyoming members have contributed to planning and working towards maintaining connections with each other across the state. Our conferences this year have been a testament to what we can do as an architectural community in Wyoming. The architectural profession continues to evolve and so does our AIA Wyoming Chapter. It is important to encourage new voices to become involved in AIA Wyoming and one or more of the four Standing Committees. Our current membership is made up of a more experienced architectural community, and in my personal opinion, we are missing opportunities emerging professionals could provide. So, I encourage you to look amongst your peers in the office and ask how many of them would be a great addition to AIA Wyoming or a Standing Committee.
Available Committees:
Education and Resources
Public Awareness
Membership Development
Government Advocacy
These four committees, along with all the conference planning teams, are responsible for events and programs AIA Wyoming provides. If you attended one of our conferences this year, you witnessed the amazing minds that make up our community of AIA Wyoming.
The chapter has a wonderful history of having vast participation from its membership, but involvement in the committees and AIA Wyoming is starting to change. AIA Wyoming currently has an opportunity to have a strong voice and share our knowledge as an individual chapter with other AIA National Chapters. There is a bright future for AIA Wyoming, and I encourage all our architects, emerging professionals and associates to get involved and share your voice. We currently have members of our Wyoming Chapter sitting on several National Committees, such as the Strategic Council, Young Architects Forum, National Associates Committee, Small Business Exchange, etc.
If you want to share your ideas and put them into action, meet other great professionals, advance your career and help advance the architectural profession, please consider joining a committee. It is a rewarding and fun way to have an active role in AIA and network with colleagues, peers and mentors throughout the state.
Without a strong AIA organization locally and nationally, the profession would not thrive as it has for so many years. I ask that each of you consider what AIA Wyoming has done or could do for you and consider what you can do for it. Give back and get involved. Join this wonderful group of individuals today!
