AIA Golden Empire’s Mission

Our mission as a chapter is to empower our members to provide ever-increasing value in serving the unique needs of Kern County and to be the primary resource regarding the built environment for our members and the community.

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has served as the leading voice for architecture professionals since its founding in 1857 and continues to be the most prominent membership organization for licensed architects, emerging professionals, and allied partners. With the national association based in Washington, DC, the AIA is also able to meet the needs of its members at the state and local level via nearly 300 chapters both domestically and abroad. The mission of AIA is to serve as a resource for its members, allied professionals, and the general public through advocacy, community, education, and outreach.

The AIA has Chapters in every State, and the California Golden Empire Chapter, founded in 1992, is a thriving and growing group of Architects, Associates, and Professional Affiliates. The Chapter meets for monthly networking and resource sharing meetings.

The AIA GE is located in Bakersfield the geographic and figurative heart of California.
