Membership
Four reasons working architects join ALA.
Membership is built to return more than it costs. Here is exactly where the value shows up in your practice, your license, and your career.
Reason 01
The CEU Tracker keeps your license current.
Every learning unit you earn is logged and counted against each state you are licensed in, automatically, with monthly reminders of exactly where you stand. Renewal season becomes routine instead of a scramble through old certificates.
Reason 02
The contract library is free to you.
Attorney-vetted agreements written for architects, from owner and consultant agreements to the change orders a small firm reaches for every week. They are $75 each to the public and free to members, and members get new and revised documents first.
Reason 03
It pays for itself.
The free contracts, the annual magazine with a learning unit inside, and member rates on conferences and courses add up fast. Most members cover their dues with the first contract they download.
Reason 04
Relationships that move careers.
Conferences, tours, chapters, and YALA put you in the same room as the architects, consultants, and clients who shape the work. You get a network that knows the profession from the inside.
For Firms
The Studio Plan: the whole practice, one membership.
Professional seats are $210 instead of $280 and Associate seats $95 instead of $115, on one invoice with one renewal date. Add a seat the week someone joins the firm.
