Dear AIA Virginia Members,

Your Architect Advantages portal awaits you! Since rolling out this benefits portal in January, many of you have taken advantage of discounted consumer offerings in travel, dining, health care, events and more.

PLEASE SIGN IN TO YOUR PORTAL. It takes just a couple of minutes. Just go to www.youdecide.com/architect. It’s easy!

We are also pleased that members are availing themselves of the financial products available to members. As of today, we have had a robust use of the site and have worked with members to understand their needs. We have given out quotes on a number of products and members are beginning to purchase these products. From a personal level, it is quite gratifying when a product or service bought enhances a member’s financial well being or gives them a benefit they did not know was obtainable to them.

As you may know, in addition to creating a group umbrella insurance plan for members, we recently created a professional liability program for members. Thus far, it is being well received. Click on the ‘Insurance” tab for more information.

LATER THIS MONTH, there will be an automated life insurance quote engine added to the portal; this is a very high tech feature that will allow members to not only receive pricing on life insurance prices, but to receive a detailed analysis on the many different “bells and whistles” available in the industry.

TO RECAP:

  • MEMBERS ARE BUYING PERSONAL LINES AND PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY INSURANCE
  • THERE ARE GREAT SAVINGS ON MORE THAN 100 CONSUMER PRODUCTS
  • THERE ARE COMPLIMENTARY SERVICES, SUCH A RETIREMENT PLANNING, ESTATE PLANNING REVIEWS, LIFE INSUARNCE APPRAISALS AND MORE.
  • SOON THERE WILL BE A LIFE QUOTE OPTION ON THE PORTAL

ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE SIGN IN TO YOUR PORTAL. It takes just a couple of minutes. Just go to www.youdecide.com/architect. It’s easy!

Enjoy the savings and please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions!
