Together, we agree that the time is now to change the way we think and behave in order to shape our future.

To become a more valued, relevant organization, the AIA will focus our priorities to:

• Elevate public awareness
• Advocate for the profession
• Create and expand the sharing of knowledge and expertise to ensure a prosperous future for our members

Never before have we needed this level of bold, visionary leadership to inspire architects to work together and build a better world for all people - through architecture.

The Repositioning initiative is a research and assessment effort that requires real and meaningful change for the organization to remain relevant to members and the profession of architecture. Repositioning is about what we need to do, collectively, for the entire body of architecture. This is for the profession.


Us, We, Together.

Together, we made a commitment to positive change.

This Repositioning Progress Report highlights some of the many ways we're reaching that commitment to become a more valued, relevant profession. It outlines the AIA's priorities to:

• Elevate public awareness
• Advocate for the profession
• Expand and share knowledge

"Bold, visionary leadership is urgently needed to ensure a prosperous future and to inspire architects to create a better world for all people—through architecture."
