ABSTRACT

The AIA Minnesota housing committee is a custom single family focused group that has been extremely successful in promoting the services of architects for custom residential design. Using the chapter’s fall home tour event as a catalyst, CRAN will assemble 15-20 residential architects interested adapting the promotion techniques employed by AIA Minnesota and other active components to their local chapter.

AIA funding is available to subsidize the cost of attendance for 10-12 participants. Prospective attendees must complete a brief application and statement of purpose in order to qualify for the travel and lodging stipend of $500.
