AIA Pennsylvania Legislative Accomplishments for 2022

AIA advocates for its members at every level of government: Local,  State, and Federal.  However, AIA Pennsylvania is uniquely positioned and qualified to advocate for AIA Pennsylvania members in Harrisburg.  They are working on advocacy for architects and architecture every day, and in 2022 they accomplished alot.  AIA Philadelphia works closely and supports the work that our State Chapter does on behalf of our shared members and we want to congratulate and express our gratitude for their efforts over the past year.
