February Agenda

March Agenda

Prep for the ARE (Architect Registration Examination) through a mixture of lectures by experts, resource sharing with fellow architects, information on what to expect, study tips and more. Each ARE 5.0 test will be covered in-depth through a series of seven sessions. You will also have an opportunity to attend study groups between sessions. And the best part? This series has been tailored to fit your personal study schedule – attend all seven sessions or individual sessions, based on where you are in the examination process!

Due to the inclement weather in Denver, this event has been postponed. We will update details when it is rescheduled.

The Regional & Urban Design Knowledge Community looks at issues that impact the urban environment with a focus on the Denver Metro Area.

We’re excited to share that on March 13 at 5 p.m., the Regional and Urban Design Knowledge Community is hosting a Denver City Council candidate forum. Please join us as we discuss urban design issues that candidates are seeing and hearing about in their districts. All AIA Colorado members are welcome to attend our monthly knowledge community meetings.

AIA Colorado does not endorse candidates, but all of our guests recognize that the architecture profession brings an important perspective to the challenges Denver faces in this period of growth for the city.

• Colleen Zahradnicek, District 4
• Michele Fry, District 5
