KET Annual Telefund: 
 
Each year AIA EKC participates in the KET Telefund by providing volunteers to answer the phones during the annual pledge drive at their studios off Cooper Drive here in Lexington. We have agreed to do this once again on Saturday, March 17th from 5:00 - 11:00pm. The evening includes a catered dinner and a chance to meet your fellow AIA members during an event that is fast-paced and fun.

AIA EKC needs YOU to be part of this wonderful event as we seek to have at least 20 volunteers for the evening to support our chapter and local community. Please register via the separate email that was sent on 2/21/18 or by clicking here - AIA EKC Annual Telefund

The Lexington Emerging Professionals Network (LEPN) was started in October of 2016, to provide architectural emerging professionals in the Lexington area an opportunity to network and participate in fellowship with their peers. The LEPN will hold monthly meet-ups at local restaurants, where all area emerging professionals will be welcomed regardless of AIA membership. The goal of the LEPN is to engage all emerging professionals in the larger Lexington architectural community.
