Less than 3% of AIA Virginia Members Participate
There’s marginal progress from last month. As of today, 70 participants have contributed to the AIA Virginia PAC totaling $5,235. Three of the participants are actually not members. Though this is the most participation we have had in the first six months of a calendar year in many years, we must do better.

Yet, I’m scratching my head in disbelief as the number of practitioners who do public work and contribute to the PAC is microscopic. Our voice is only a whisper at the table because the PACs of chicken farmers dwarf ours.
Here is how PAC membership participation stacks up by local AIA component:

I’m asking that you please make a contribution to www.aiavapac.org. No amount is too small or too large. Help us have a seat at the table as the voice of the ARCHITECT.
