International Associate members eligible for Emeritus membership
A’23, the AIA’s annual Conference on Architecture, has come to a close. With it are changes for professionals engaged in the AIA. A bylaws amendment (named 23-D: International Associate AIA – Emeritus) was proposed to provide International Associate members with the same privileges as AIA and Associate AIA members. This proposal unanimously passed. Under the new bylaw, eligible International Associate members may apply for AIA Emeritus membership.
See the AIA website for this and other changes to AIA policy.
