Strategic Plan for 2025 – 2028
The AIA Dayton Board of Directors met January 14, 2025 to review and update the chapter's Strategic Plan. In doing so, the Board also reviewed the current strategic plans for AIA National and AIA Ohio. While the National and Ohio's plans focus on the big picture societal issues that relate to our profession, it was agreed that AIA Dayton's focus should continue to be on serving our membership and local communities.
Three main goals were identified:
• Engage our Membership
• Connect with our Profession and the Community
• Impact the Community
Strategies were developed for each of our three goals and will serve as our body of work going forward.

AIA Ohio Advocacy Day is taking place on Wednesday, April 30, in Columbus.
