2023 Year in Review — AIA National BY NATHANIEL HUDSON, AIA, NOMA, NCARB, 2021-2023 NATIONAL DIRECTOR AT-LARGE Membership At the close of 2022, the AIA was pleased to report that membership numbers broke 96,000 and included a record for new member recruitment! By the Annual Business Meeting in San Francisco in June of 2023, we continued to climb, hitting 96,710 members and 3,300 fellows in 205 international chapters. While membership is strong, the AIA is also deeply dedicated to work that helps us represent a more diverse membership — one that accurately reflects our profession and society where they are. While we continue to have a great deal of work ahead of us on this, our mid-year 2023 reports show 26% female and 17% underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, which reflect some sizable steps in the right direction from where we were only a few years ago. As one of our organization’s operational priorities for 2023, we are looking to expand and deepen member and volunteer engagement. In an effort to help with this, we are reevaluating our membership categories and looking at membership titling as well as overall membership costs specifically related to attendance within the National Business Meeting and 12 Northern Nevada Architecture .23
