AIA Minneapolis is the largest local chapter of the AIA in Minnesota with more than 1,600 members. While most chapter members are based in Minneapolis, the chapter territory includes the southwestern portion of the state. As a large metropolitan-area chapter, AIA Minneapolis participates with other large local chapters nationwide to focus attention on significant issues facing urban areas. The chapter provides leadership, networking, and public outreach opportunities for members.
AIA Minneapolis is proud to be a nationally accredited component of the American Institute of Architects (AIA). Every three years, AIA components are evaluated through an accreditation process to ensure core member service standards are met. The AIA Core Member Services (CMS) program lays the groundwork for component excellence by ensuring that all AIA members receive a consistent level of service, and that each component implements best practices of nonprofit associations.
