Call for Volunteers: Education Advisory Council (EAC)

The EAC develops and executes continuing education programming for AIA Virginia and serves as an advisory body to the AIA VA Board of Directors. We need you!

Our primary work is planning and executing three signature statewide programs:


We also support:

  • Design Forum – statewide conference on design (even years)
  • Knowledge Communities (HRC, VA COTE)
  • Leadership Development Programs (ELA, LAB)
  • Educational opportunities (Code Seminars, SAP Training, Procrastinator Series, LU lunches, and more).

This is meaningful, high-impact work – and we need representative voices from across the state and our member constituencies to ensure our programs truly serve their needs.

Here’s the ask: If you – or someone you know – would be great at this, please reach out and tell them “I think you’d be perfect for this!” and email Delaney Ogden at dogden@aiava.org.

we also invite you to consider deepening your engagement with our organization. Opportunities to serve on our many active Councils and Committees abound. A list of those bodies can be found here>> and you are welcome to contact either the chair or the staff liaison to discuss the scope, expectations, and the application process more specifically.
