ONGOING PROGRAMS:

Mentoring Workshop
The AIA|DC|EA Mentoring Workshop brings together interns and recently-licensed architects on a monthly basis to discuss topics relating to the Intern Development Program, practice and licensure. Each month a different topic is discussed but time is available after initial discussion for open question-and-answer. New interns and mentors are always welcome!

ARE Prep Course
Two times a year AIA|DC offers a seven-session ARE Prep Course to provide potential test-takers with an overview of the exams and topic areas covered. Licensed professionals lead each class—which includes a practice exam and light dinner. Click here for more information.

AIA|DC Emerging Architect Award

Each year the chapter honors an emerging architect who has made a significant contribution to the profession at an early stage in his or her career. The celebrated work can be design-oriented, or service to the AIA or larger community. The recipient is honored at the Annual Awards Gala held in the fall. Check the Call for Entries website for more information.
