Allied Professionals

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) is the professional society for architects. The AIA North Dakota’s Allied Membership program was created to promote communication among all members of the architectural community. It gives architects and suppliers the opportunity to network, get to know one another and share ideas and challenges as a team.

The Allied Membership program is a cost-effective marketing and public relations opportunity designed to keep your name before the AIA North Dakota members who design, spec and purchase materials and services on behalf of their clients. Please be advised that your membership is on an individual basis (not corporate) and is not transferrable to another individual. Again this year, is the opportunity to donate to the AIA North Dakota Scholarship Fund. Each year, AIA North Dakota is able to give out several $1,000.00 scholarships to architectural students. With your donation, we would be able to award scholarships to more students. Individuals who contribute to the AIA ND Scholarship fund will receive special notation in the scholarship section of the AIA ND Magazine, recognition in the conference brochure, and acknowledgement at the annual awards banquet.

The Bylaws state: Allied Members are individuals not otherwise eligible for membership in the institute or the chapter. They have established professional reputations and are registered to practice their professions where such requirements exist or are employed outside of architectural practice but are involved in positions allied to the field of architecture. Allied members may include engineers, planners, landscape architects, sculptors, muralists, artists, and others in government, education, journalism, manufacturing, industry, and/or other fields allied to architecture who the chapter believes will provide a meaningful contribution by reason of their employment or occupation.
