The AIA National Small Firm Exchange is preparing resources on topics related to small firm practice, including starting a firm, small firms and artificial intelligence, and small firms and the Framework for Design Excellence. Their latest resource is on managing firm financials.
AIA National SFx is also sharing videos on practice topics on social media. You can follow them on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, or X.
Ohio’s Small Firm Exchange continues to meet monthly in 2025, with meetings hosted by chapters around the state and themed coffee chats. Upcoming meetings are:
- February 27, 9am Coffee Chat: Have you successfully, or unsuccessfully, partnered with larger firms? What advice do you have to share?
- March 4, 9am AIA Akron’s Nate Bailey hosts “Design Fee for Equity”
- April 24, 9am Coffee Chat: What do you wish you knew then that you know now?
AIA members practicing in small firms are encouraged to reach out to SFx Ohio Representative Sarah Kleiner to become more involved or discuss how AIA could better support their practice. You can reach Sarah at skleiner@envisage-arch.com
