Committees
AIA Potomac Valley is recruiting bright, energetic volunteers to help produce quality programs in cooperation with their fellow architects and other program providers. Please review the committee opportunities below and find your niche—you can make a difference! Contact us with any questions or complete the committee interest form to become involved.
Representing an area that stretches from Garrett to Charles Counties and everywhere between, the AIA Potomac Valley Chapter has what is perhaps one of the most rich and diverse memberships in terms of who we are and the types of architecture we practice. Programming Committees serve to support the Chapter mission through programming designed to foster and encourage connection, engagement and, most important, cognizant support within our member base. Each committee develops, coordinates, and provides architectural- and construction-related educational opportunities to members, those working in the architecture profession, and the public.

Each chapter, through its CRAN Committee, produces, in turn, four of the monthly Capital Area CRAN programs each year, most of which provide continuing education credits.

AIA Potomac Valley's CRAN Committee seeks volunteers to join in producing quality programs for the residential designer community. Chair: Mary-Margaret Stacy, AIA |
