AIA Adopts New
Governance Structure
The membership of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) has
given final approval to a plan that significantly restructures the
Institute's governance. In a vote at the AIA National Convention
in Chicago in June, member delegates validated a proposal for a
bicameral governance with a significantly smaller board of directors.
AIA leadership pursued this change to enable the organization to be
more nimble and responsive to member needs.

Bylaw amendments adopted by delegates will reduce the size
of the Institute's board of directors from 50 to 16 members, and the
board will retain its current role in providing operational and fiduciary
management of the organization. A new body-a strategic council of
no more than 60 members-will inform and advise the board and other
Institute bodies on important professional issues. The current
11-member executive committee of the board will be phased out.
The board of directors approved a plan at its September 2013
meeting to develop the new bicameral governance model, and final
approval occurred with the membership vote at the convention.
The change in governance is part of the repositioning effort of
the 157-year-old organization. "The positive vote to restructure the
Institute's governance model demonstrates that our repositioning
initiative has resonated with our components and general
membership," 2014 AIA President Helene Combs Dreiling, FAIA,
told Contract. "This sweeping change will enable the AIA to be more
effective in considering and acting upon core and emerging practice
issues that are essential to the profession."
The new board of directors will have four elected officers
including the president, first vice president/president-elect, secretary,
and treasurer. Six to eight at-large directors will include three at-large
directors elected by delegates at the annual convention and three
at-large directors elected by the strategic council. As many as two
at-large directors will be selected by the president with board approval.
The board will also include an Associate member, a student, a
representative of the Council of Architectural Component Executives
(CACE), and the AIA's EVP/CEO. -MURRYE BERNARD AND johN czARNEcki
