AIA Connecticut Fellows are pleased to share their experience and insights on the practice of architecture with chapter members. They would like to offer their time to members as mentors on a variety of issues about which individual members may want to pursue an in- depth conversation or briefly discuss specific questions. The program is intended to be a one-on-one experience.
Those AIA Connecticut members wishing help would contact one of the volunteer Fellows directly to mutually determine the format for contact (meeting directly, telephone conference, email, etc.). The communications would be exclusively between the individuals and as confidential as desired.
Below you will find a list of Fellows and their experience and contact information to set a time for meeting.
