Looking for Members to join 2026 Architects Day at the Capitol
A key part of AIA Colorado’s advocacy efforts is to build relationships with state legislators and discuss issues important to the architecture profession. Our 2026 day at the capitol will be Friday morning, January 30th, and we’re looking for members who can help us share our perspective. Please note that the date is tentative, as legislative schedules may shift. If you’re interested in attending, please contact advocacy engagement director Nikolaus Remus, AIA, so we can discuss who your state legislators are and try to set up a meeting with them, and which of our legislator meetings can best leverage your expertise.
AIA College of Fellows Nominating Committee
Election to the AIA College of Fellows represents the highest individual honor bestowed by the Institute, recognizing architects whose careers demonstrate sustained excellence and a broad impact on the profession. Since 1886, 110 AIA Colorado members have been elevated to Fellowship, including two new Fellows named last year. For architects whose work, leadership, and service reflect this level of achievement, Fellowship is a meaningful next step. If you are interested in exploring the Fellowship process, the AIA Colorado College of Fellows Nominating Committee would welcome a conversation. Learn more here and contact Phil Gerou, FAIA, Chair of the Fellows Nominating Committee, by February 18th.
One Good Idea
Throughout 2025, members contributed their One Good Idea to make architectural practice a little easier, together. The campaign now lives on the AIA Colorado website, where members can browse past submissions and contribute ideas of their own. Whether big or small, your idea could help another architect improve their day-to-day work. See ideas here.
