In order to continue advocating for our members, we need to hear from you! Your opinions and ideas help AIA Pennsylvania advocate for common-sense policies on key issues that promote the value of design, combat climate change, design equitable communities, position firms for success, and ultimately put architects to work.
Please take the time to fill out the 2021-2022 legislative survey by Friday, December 11th to help further shape the legislative agenda for the organization that represents you in Harrisburg. Your responses will help us make the case to state legislators that architects bring design thinking to the table to affect positive and equitable social, environmental, and economic outcomes.
Looking for guidance on some of the issues covered in the survey? Catch the replay of "An Interactive Guide to the 2021-2022 Legislative Priorities".
