AIA Connecticut adheres to the policies set forth by the Connecticut Board of Directors and the American Institute of Architects.
The AIA has a long history of requiring its members adhere to the highest ethics and standards. Listed below are Chapter and National Policies.
We are calling on Connecticut Architects to strengthen our working practices to create architecture and urbanism that has a more positive impact on the world around us….
AIA and its members are committed to the highest ethical standards and full compliance with all laws and regulations, including federal and state antitrust laws.
By complying with both the letter and spirit of antitrust laws, we protect the integrity of our professions and the reputation of the AIA.
The AIA Connecticut Bylaws govern the Connecticut Chapter of the American Institute of Architects.
The AIA Bylaws outline AIA National’s day-to-day rules and procedures.
Ethics and integrity are essential to our work. AIA members are dedicated to the highest standards of professionalism, integrity and competence. The AIA Code of Ethics guides members’ conduct in fulfilling those obligations. The Code applies to the professional activities of all AIA members, regardless of their membership category.
We are committed to modeling diversity and inclusion within and outside our membership, and to maintaining an inclusive environment with equitable treatment for all.
At AIA Connecticut, a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace is one where all employees and volunteers, whatever their gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, age, sexual orientation or identity, education or disability, feels valued and respected. We are committed to a nondiscriminatory approach and provide equal opportunity for employment and advancement. We respect and value diverse life experiences and heritages and ensure that all voices are valued and heard.
We, the members of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), stand together to reshape our profession: to confront those who make the workplace intolerable through harassment and abuse; to give voice to those whose voices are stifled for fear of retaliation; to resolve systemic inequities in our profession that block full access by many who seek it; and to break down cultural, ethnic, racial, and gender barriers that prevent our profession from reflecting the society it serves.
