The mission of AIA is to be the voice of the architecture profession dedicated to three purposes: serving its members, advancing their value, and improving the quality of the built environment.

AIA Charlotte has a rich history of involvement in community design and social issues. The 12 county group utilizes a volunteer committee structure to focus on areas of concern for our region, including sustainable (or “green”) design practices, community outreach, design education and the development of emerging professionals. In providing these opportunities for involvement, the presentation of a diverse and dedicated AIA Charlotte emphasizes the role of architects as advocates for a stronger community.
