AIA Oregon and over 400 members of The American Institute of Architects (AIA) are representing you in DC when it's more essential than ever to have representation at our nation's capitol. John Flynn, Jake Zander, Isaac Hadnutt, and Heather Wilson met today with Oregon Senator Ron Wyden and House Representatives Val Hoyle and Suzanne Bonamici to promote federal action that will improve architecture practice in Oregon. With them we advocated for tax incentives to help architects offset the costs of prototyping and designing the future of architecture, strategies to secure more funding for affordable housing development, and investments to enhance the resilience of our state's built environment—plus much more.

AIA Oregon is here for you and working for you to increase your and future generations of architects' success.
