Members Congress 2021


Attend the 2021 Members Congress! The registration can be found here.

Every two years, members of The Architecture Lobby come together to make collective decisions on the priorities and direction of the entire organization. All members – those in chapters and those who aren’t, those in campaigns and those who aren’t — come together to debate and vote on how we move forward. We revisit our goals, our strategies and our internal governing structure – to make sure we are on the right path to advancing and achieving our vision.

This year the planning committee has identified three themes that will direct our meetings: Vision, Governance and Community.These topics are critical for the organization at this point as we have significantly grown in the past year.

VISION

Clarify our organizational mission and state specific goals by proposing our image of a liberated future.

GOVERNANCE

How do we carry out our work democratically, so that all members have a voice and an opportunity to participate so that we can accomplish our vision?

COMMUNITY

How we work together, what kind of relationships we are fostering, how we treat each other and how we practice solidarity.
