AIA New Hampshire Committees
Be a Citizen Architect
Numerous opportunities exist for individuals to get involved with AIA New Hampshire. In addition to positions on the board of directors, some of which become available each year, there are many committees that do a variety of important work to advance the mission of the chapter. Volunteering is a great way to get involved in substantial issues, meet colleagues and advance your career as a leader. Occasionally, opportunities to serve on regional and national committees are also available.
For the time being, all committee meetings are held virtually and convene on a monthly basis. Contact the AIANH office if you would like to attend a committee meeting or want to learn more about becoming a committee member.
Committee members serve one year terms with the option to renew.
Design Awards Committee
The focus of the Awards Committee is to annually highlight the best design in New Hampshire. The awarded designs are featured through an in person event, print media, including Forum, and on the AIANH website. The designs are further showcased statewide in various formats and locations. The Committee also uses the awarded work as a way to inform the public about good design.
