ALA - Illinois
The Association of Licensed Architects - Illinois Chapter was formed in 2005. Our chapter serves over 900 professional, affiliate and student members throughout the state.
ALA - Illinois provides our members with high-quality continuing education programs. Monthly seminar topics range from current building trends and techniques to business strategies to tours of buildings with architectural interest. All programming is approved for state required continuing education requirements with most offering health, safety and welfare (HSW) credit. Over 80 members enrolled in our LEED exam study groups to help facilitate LEED AP accreditation.
Our annual Illinois Student Merit Award acknowledges a student from each of the architectural accredited college programs in the state with a cash award. Selected students have shown outstanding academic achievement and leadership skills.
In 2007, ALA - Illinois formed an alliance with Habitat for Humanity - South Suburbs. Our members have dedicated their time and design expertise in providing stamped plans for homes plus we sponsor a Habitat Workday in the summer. This rewarding experience allows architects a chance to work together while providing much needed housing for deserving families.
We hope you will take a look at our program schedule and join us at one of the events. Non-members are welcome and always feel free to contact our Executive Director or board members with any questions.
