The 2017 Academy Expo will be held at the Indoor Sports Center on Riverside, Wednesday October 4th from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Every year, our AIA Rockford Section participates with an Architecture and Interior Design booth. We will have two booths which means will need 8 volunteers to cover a morning and afternoon shift. As many of you know, it's a very fast paced and exciting few hours. Please consider donating your time to this great event!

If you would like to volunteer, please contact Jennifer Spencer, [email protected] for more information.
