Our Mission: Increase and promote the value of Architects by: advancing the standard of the profession, and promoting professional development, outreach, and fellowship. AIA Spokane, a chapter of the American Institute of Architects, is a non-profit professional association that serves to support the practice of architecture, by providing education, community and advocacy for its members. The local chapter membership consists of licensed architects and interns, as well as allied members from the engineering and construction professions. Led by a volunteer board and a part-time Executive Director, AIA Spokane is a local component of the national organization.
