Membership in the AIA is an investment in your future that extends your network to fellow professionals. When you join the AIA, you join at all 3 levels: National, State (AIA California), and Local Chapter (AIA Central Valley).
AIA members get exclusive access to resources, including free AIAU courses.
Once you determine your eligibility in the appropriate membership category below, you can become an AIA member by joining online at the National AIA website. Please contact us at your local chapter should you have any questions.
Dues are annual, based on your work or home address. Calculate your annual dues with the AIA Dues Estimator.
Upon joining or renewing online, eligible Architect, Associate, International Associate, and National Allied members, without regard to hardship, may enroll in the Dues Installment Program.
