2025-2026 AIA Triangle Leadership Forum Open to ALL AIA NC Members
The AIA Triangle Leadership Forum is a two year-long program designed to give local Emerging Professionals, Young Architects, and associated professionals an opportunity for professional and personal growth in a collaborative learning program. Each cohort works together to learn the skills needed to achieve their best. The program provides access to inspiring speakers, innovative design firms, and activities to push you to become an industry leader.
For the first time AIA Triangle is opening their applications to ALL AIA North Carolina Members!
Applications are Due by January 29th, 2025. If accepted, participants are expected to travel to the Triangle area for sessions and attend the retreat in Richmond, VA.
Learning Through Shared Experiences
In lieu of other one-on-one mentorship models, this collaborative learning program design works to cross-strengthen the entire class through pooled resources and reflective practice.
The essence of Leadership Forum can be found in its Monthly Meetings. The group gathers for engaged discussions with local architects, firm tours, conferences, construction site tours and other activities. Various topics are explored in an open-forum format, and range from leadership in design, architectural practice, firm dynamics and community-based design.
Scheduled monthly meeting attendance is mandatory in order to successfully complete the program. At the beginning of the year, participants are asked to arrange their busy schedules to prioritize for these once-per-month events. Monthly Meetings generally occur on the 3rd Wednesday from 3:00pm to 7:00pm. This year the session kicks off with a 2-3 day retreat in Richmond, VA.
