Advocacy & Citizen Architect
Architects must have a seat at the table when important civic decisions are made and can play a vital role in crafting public policy solutions that address the most prominent issues facing states and cities today.
For more than 150 years, we have been advocating on architecture’s most pressing issues. Today, we are nearly 88,000 members strong, standing together to make sure architects have their voice heard.
Leading Change
In federal, state and local governments, we work to advance the field of architecture. We advocate for:
Policies that shape smart decisions and encourage innovation
Legislation that secures the future of the profession and allows communities to benefit from the value of architecture
Regulations and codes that ensure buildings and spaces are healthy and safe
AIA Ohio Advocacy
AIA Ohio advocates for members to produce positive legislative and governmental changes at the state level that help the architecture industry. The AIA Ohio PAC is an integral part of AIA Ohio's advocacy efforts and provides us with an opportunity to support those who support us. By contributing to the PAC, we can directly support the efforts of our government relations program and be an active participant in what we do as an organization.
