We have exciting news for our Allied membership for 2025!

We are shifting AIA Minnesota Allied membership to a company membership format. As an AIA Minnesota Allied company, you can have up to five (5) members from your organization participate as an Allied member with AIA Minnesota.

We have also added many new benefits to membership in the hopes that you benefit in many ways:

  • Financial benefits with discounted rates, free events.
  • Company exposure with sponsorship opportunities and branding.
  • Attend in-person events to engage with our membership for networking and connection.

Allied membership is open to companies and individuals working in a field related to the practice of architecture. Included in this group are landscape architects, engineers, planners, interior designers, and graphic designers; professionals in government, education, industry, research, and journalism; and others who will provide a meaningful contribution by virtue of their employment, profession, or interest.
