Membership

One year of membership. Priced for working architects.

Every membership runs a full year from the day you join, and renewing adds a year to your current expiration date. Individual memberships include CE tracking, the annual print issue of Licensed Architect, and member rates. Professional and Senior Professional memberships also include the full contract library, as does Emeritus status. Affiliate is a company listing and does not include these individual benefits. Not sure which type fits? Write to ALA@licensedarchitect.org and we will point you right.

The Studio Plan · For Firms

Bring the whole firm on one plan.

Start the plan online in a few minutes: name the firm, list your people, pay once. Add as many Professional, Associate and New Graduate seats as you need: Professional seats are $210 instead of $280 and Associate seats are $95 instead of $115. Every seat is a full membership with the CEU Tracker, webinars, the annual print issue of Licensed Architect, and member rates on every event. Professional seats also include the full contract library.

One invoice, one renewal date. One or two people at the firm manage the plan, and they add a seat themselves the week someone joins. New Graduate seats are $75.
