Firm Membership
Local membership for your firm places your practice within a network of contacts to turn to for practice and design resources. Member firms are improving the practice of architecture, adding their voice to planning and preservation issues, supporting career development for employees, and promoting the firm and architecture to the public. To acquire the necessary resources to do so, firms pay supplemental dues based on the number of architects employed by a firm, so larger firms with greater needs pay more, while smaller firms pay less. The services available to principals benefit the entire firm.
