Why are there sections?

AIA Oregon was established in 2019 to streamline operations and reduce the administrative burden of managing multiple independent sections. This unified structure enables us to deliver more consistent resources statewide and maintain strong support for rural communities.

what happened to The Centers for Architecture?

In 2022, AIA Oregon decided to close its Portland and Eugene Centers for Architecture. This data-backed decision was made to save the chapter money so we could implement more direct member benefits and get out of quickly decaying buildings. This decision has saved the chapter 120,000 dollars per year.
