The Capital Area CRAN (Custom Residential Architects Network) is a cooperative initiative among AIA Potomac Valley, AIA DC, and AIA Northern Virginia. Follow Capital Area CRAN on Facebook and Instagram. The tri-chapter Steering Committee plans programs, tours, and social/networking events for architects engaged in custom residential design. 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. Likewise, monthly programs are located within each chapter's geographic area on a rotating basis. AIA Potomac Valley's CRAN Committee seeks volunteers to join in producing quality programs for the residential designer community.
