Build it Together – 2019 Board of Directors – Call for Interest
It is time to get to work.
AIA West Jersey is seeking members to join our Board of Directors in 2019.
AIA West Jersey serves as your voice in state issues affecting the architectural profession. As a volunteer organization, the Officers and Trustees on the Board of Directors serve one or two year terms, ideally continuing on in other capacities and culminating as President. The continuity of the Board allows the Board members to learn from their predecessors, making the transition easier and allowing for an efficient operation of the Chapter.
Serving on the AIA West Jersey Executive Committee is a great avenue for professional development. Nowhere else in our profession will you get the opportunity to affect how architecture is practiced in New Jersey. You will also become part of the AIA New Jersey [AIANJ] representation as AIA works on a national scale for the betterment of our profession. It may seem humbling to have this opportunity; however, your voice is exactly what is needed, regardless of your professional status. Board members ideally will include a full range of member voices; principals of larger firms, project managers, single practitioners, and emerging professionals. All that is required is a desire to improve the architectural profession.
AIA West Jersey Board of Directors is composed of the following positions:
President
President-elect

and
Three (3) appointed Trustees.
With the exception of the office of President and Immediate Past President, all positions are eligible to receive nominations from the general membership for service the following year.
