About the Strategic Council:

The Strategic Council advances the architecture profession by informing the Board and other Institute bodies about important professional issues, opportunities, and threats. Although it is not an AIA governing body, the Council’s work is vital to AIA’s ability to serve the profession. The Council approaches its tasks with an emphasis on an outward and forward-focused vision.
