Welcome!

On behalf of the AIA Central States Emerging Professionals Committee, welcome to our website! Whether you are a student, recent graduate, or young professional looking for more information on the AIA, IDP, NCARB or the profession as a whole, we hope that this website proves to be an abundant resource for all of your needs. The AIA Central States Emerging Professionals Committee was created to facilitate interaction between the Region’s emerging professionals in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma. However, we would encourage collaboration between every member and professional in our built environment. Please, take a look around the site, get to know your peers, and read up on the latest local happenings within the region. If you happen to know of events that you would like to share with your colleagues, please contact us so that we may include them on our calendar! Also, please take advantage of our Wage Statistics and Cost of Living Figures as well as links to the several regional components. Our Intern Friendly Firm page contains links to member firms that have proven support and encouragement within their offices to architectural interns with the goal of completing IDP and the ARE. All of this information is aimed at providing insight into why it is an excellent choice to stay in the Central States now, and throughout your career! So explore, engage, and get involved! We look forward to helping you take charge of your professional future! Matthew J. Glawatz, 2010 AIA Central States Regional Associate Director WHY STAY IN THE CENTRAL STATES?
