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!

The Emerging Professionals Committee is a Committee of AIA Colorado that represents Student, Associate and Young Architect members. Its purpose is three fold: to improve knowledge sharing, expand outreach, and advocate on behalf of Emerging Professionals at all levels through collaborative efforts and direct communication.

Our group mentorship program (previously known as 5x5x5) facilitates relationships and conversations that will help you advance in your career. Participants work as a group to identify relevant topics and rotate between several mentors, each with diverse backgrounds and skill sets.

One of the best parts of this series is that it is for members of all ages, at all stages of their careers.

*You must have previously applied to participate.

The Regional & Urban Design Knowledge Community looks at issues that impact the urban environment with a focus on the Denver Metro Area. This month, we will be discussing the future of Denver’s Civic Center Park and how you can contribute as an architect. Watch this video to learn more details.

To receive a reminder about upcoming Regional & Urban Design Knowledge Community meetings, email nikolaus@aiacolorado.org.

These meetings are open to any AIA Colorado members interested in discussing urban design.

Are you ready for the next step in your career?

AIA Colorado’s new program, The Business of Architecture, is designed to provide mid-career architects with essential career tools for managing a prosperous practice. Whether you’re looking to take on more responsibility within your current firm, or considering starting your own practice, this series will equip you with the necessary skills to set yourself apart.

The series (six sessions total) covers all facets of firm management and development. Each session in the series builds on the last and will culminate with the opportunity for you to create a business and/or personal plan that you can use going forward. For this reason, participation in the entire series is encouraged, however registration for individual sessions is an option.

Each half-day session will include highly interactive presentations and panel discussions, as well as group and individual work assignments.
