Leadership Openings

  • Join AIA Oregon’s newest committee and help make licensure more attainable. You’ll shape the future of Project Almost Architect and create events that narrow the gap between entering practice and becoming a licensed architect.

  • Nikita graduated from college with no background in what real architectural work entailed. So, AIA Oregon and Nikita are teaming up to create a series of courses to ensure that the next group of graduates is better prepared to practice architecture.

  • In partnership with NOMA PDX, we are creating a one-day, hands-on workshop that exposes high school students to social and environmental justice in the built environment. Through collaboration and co-creation, students will explore bold, creative solutions with the potential to make a meaningful impact in their communities.

AIA Oregon is guided and built by designers and architects like you

AIA Oregon has given me the opportunity to shape events and programming that bring tangible value to our community, while also connecting me with inspiring leaders from across the state. For anyone seeking deeper engagement within the profession—especially those passionate about fostering connection, expanding your network, and professional growth.

Savannah, Architect In Portland

I became involved in AIA leadership to give myself a greater voice in how our Section operates. I've seen how our section has blossomed during the time I've invested in our leadership, and that is a huge reward.

Sara, Architect In Bend

Serving as a volunteer leader with the AIA has allowed me to grow as a leader, build lasting relationships, and contribute to something bigger than my own work. Through this experience, I’ve found a stronger sense of purpose, a broader perspective on our profession, and a community that truly supports one another.
