Government Affairs

AIA Arizona has an active Government Affairs Committee, composed of members statewide. The committee monitors state legislation, and actively supports legislation that will have a positive impact on the architecture profession and the built environment.

The committee meets regularly online during the state legislative session, and additional members are welcome to join the committee. You do not need to be an expert at government affairs or the legislature, just come with an interest in the state legislative process and its impact on the architecture profession in Arizona.

Learn more about AIA Arizona State Government advocacy activities, and the Arizona ArchiPAC, here.
