The summit will expand upon the AIA Emerging Professionals strategic initiative to develop action plans for the association and additional stakeholders to respond to the shifting education, professional development, career path and societal role of architects, according to information from AIA.
Essays can be submitted by any individual who is a legal resident of the United States and falls into one of the following categories: architecture student, AIAS member, intern, non-licensed professional, associate AIA member or an architect licensed less than ten years.
