The Emerging Architects Committee (EAC) promotes education, leadership development, and community involvement among intern architects, Associate AIA members, and architects licensed 10 years or less. We encourage the next generation of architects to start leading our community by heading committees, organizing events, participating in workshops, or simply by attending our events. The committee has four major objectives: PROVOKE and talk about the future of the profession, ADVOCATE for emerging architects, OUTREACH to other AIA members, associated disciplines, and the community, and MENTOR the next generation of architects. Check out the AIA|DC calendar for upcoming programs.
