Be Found in Architect Finder
If you haven’t checked your firm’s profile on Architect Finder on AIA.org, now is the time. The 2008 version enables AIA firm principals and contacts to visit the site, log in, and review and supplement the data on file. (It is important to make sure your firm has a contact listed, a field for which appears on the opening screen after you log in. This will assure that your firm shows up in search results.) Once core data are complete, continue to build your listing by adding a firm description, details on size and areas of specialization, information on where licensed, plus project portfolios. The more specific you are in identifying areas of specialization, the more likely you are to show up in search results when members of the public search the site for architects. To get started, visit architectfinder.aia.org.
