AIA Colorado Communications Policy

We are open to sharing content from nonprofit organizations that align with our mission to promote and advance the practice of architecture in Colorado. These shares may include event announcements, calls for public input or architect participation, and resources or programs relevant to our members.

• Limitations: We consider sharing content from each qualifying organization up to two times per calendar year. This guideline helps us ensure that when we do share your news, we can give it appropriate visibility and attention.
• Mission alignment: Content must clearly support our organizational priorities—such as advocacy, sustainability, professional development, or industry advancement. Learn more about our mission, imperatives, and values here.
• Reciprocal support: We appreciate (though may not explicitly require) reciprocal promotion of AIA Colorado news or initiatives when appropriate.
• Member benefit: If the content involves an event or paid opportunity, AIA Colorado members must be offered organizations’ lowest available standard registration rate.
• Calendar conflicts: Programs or events that have a conflict with AIA Colorado’s event calendar may be turned down on this basis.
• No guarantees: Submission does not guarantee inclusion. All content is evaluated for relevance, timing, and editorial fit. AIA Colorado staff also reserves the rights to place your content where we feel it fits best within our communications cycle and channels.

Allied Members are listed in our online directory and gain access to AIA Colorado events and programming. This membership is open to both nonprofit and for-profit entities. Learn more here.

These structured programs are designed to ensure mutual benefit while maintaining the integrity of our communications and supporting our core mission.
