Member Resources
In its role as a risk management resource for members, the AIA Trust works with a wide variety of important participants in the risk management arena—ranging from the AIA Risk Management Committee and allied organizations such as the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) to independent consultants and experts who advise the Trustees on important risk issues.
Often, the result of these working relationships is invaluable resources on vital topics of interest to AIA Members—ranging from the annual survey of the professional liability insurance industry to white papers on topics vital to a successful architectural practice.
Architects confront risks at many levels daily—and the risks are real and substantial. The AIA Trust is comprised of AIA members just like yourself—who help develop these resources for the AIA member architect to understand the many risks, how to avoid them, and how to deal with them successfully.
