Small Firm Exchange

Connect with fellow small firm leaders in Nevada for a virtual coffee chat hosted by SFx rep Anne Johnson, AIA. This is your chance to meet other architects running small practices, discuss hot topics facing your firms today, and explore how the AIA can better support Nevada’s small business community.

The Small Firm Exchange (SFx) was created to champion the needs of architects in small practices. SFx facilitates local networking and elevates the interests of small firm architects to the national AIA organization. What issues keep you up at night? What resources would help strengthen your practice? How can the AIA be a better ally for small firm success?

Join the conversation and make your voice heard. Connect with peers, and secure AIA support. This is your community – don’t miss this opportunity to shape its future.
