Slides
The accreditation process asks you to demonstrate how you are delivering AIA Core Member Services. Some pointers to get you started:
- All AIA components and mandatory sections are required to file. Voluntary Sections do not file, as their sponsoring component is responsible.
- Choose one staff or volunteer lead, plus a collaborator. Both can work on the application. Only the lead may submit it.
- The OpenWater portal will be familiar to those who have applied for accreditation or AIA Honors and Awards in the past.
- To start your component’s application, use this link: https://aia.secure-platform.com/a/solicitations/296/home (bookmarking is recommended).
- Usually, you will provide information about component activities occurring during the calendar year 2022. In the case of tax filings, provide the tax year 2021 return.
- If a question asks for documentation, please provide it in PDF form. Other questions will request a yes/no answer, text response, or URL.
- As was done last year, use the accreditation questionnaire to share your 2023 officer roster (under the Governance section). Do not upload your 2023 officer roster to the database.
- You may work on the questions in any order, save them, and return to finish at any time up to the deadline.
- When you hit the submit button at the end, you'll be flagged on any required fields left undone.
- Applications are due Saturday, January 15, 2023, at 11:59pm.
We have provided plenty of resources to assist your component in meeting the Core Member Services:
- Go to Component Connect [ https://network.aia.org/components/home ] and log in.
- Click the "Core Services" tab for the Core Member Services 3.0 booklet. Use that as your checklist for gathering your documentation.
- Explore the core services topical pages for templates, samples, tools, guidance, and shortcuts that can help your component leadership team meet each of the standards. Many resources-particularly in the Finance & operations section--is brand new this year.
