The American Institute of Architects Colorado Chapter has merged its state chapter and four local chapters into a single entity, AIA Colorado. The move is part of the national AIA Repositioning Initiative, and the Colorado Chapter is a proving ground for the innovative approach.
“This restructuring will cut administrative red tape and free up human capital,” said Cathy Rosset, executive vice president and CEO of AIA Colorado. “It allows us to focus more robust resources on outreach, advocacy and knowledge—both locally and statewide.” Through a newly established Programs Evaluation Committee, more than 200 AIA programs and services are also undergoing a rigorous review to determine how well they meet member goals and priorities.
