The Committee on Design (COD) was founded to promote design excellence among members of the AIA, the broader design community, and the public, both nationally and internationally. To realize this mission, the committee offers a range of activities intended to encourage dialogue on the art of building.

The committee’s goals are

• To examine and promote knowledge of contemporary design issues
• To compare current design and historic precedents, and to learn from the contrast between them or the progression of ideas they represent
• To advocate leadership roles for architects in the fields of design and urban planning

The interdisciplinary culture of COD educational events enhances the quality of the knowledge shared and provides unique exposure for sponsors. COD members have connections throughout the design and construction industries to individuals and entities that are highly qualified prospective customers and business partners for sponsoring organizations. COD welcomes as sponsors companies that share COD members’ commitment to excellence in design and construction. COD events and publications provide a variety of sponsorship opportunities throughout the year that can accommodate a diverse range of marketing strategies. COD currently consists of more than 8,000 members.

To discuss sponsorship opportunities and availability, please contact Kathleen Lane, Director Professional Practice at klane@aia.org or 202-626-7468.
