Founded in 1906, the Georgia Chapter of the American Institute of Architects grew from a group of 4 talented minds to over 2,100 professionals. Our mission is to be the voice of the architectural profession and a resource for its members in service to society. AIA Georgia's members are divided within seven local chapters: Atlanta, Augusta, Golden Isles, Middle Georgia, Savannah, Southwest Georgia, and West Georgia. With your $500 allied membership, you will make up a professional, complementary network with exclusive access to the AIA Georgia community and send a message that good design matters.
