2009
AIA Indiana Days
At The Statehouse

You are invited to participate in our 2009 AIA Indiana Days at the Statehouse.  New dates  forthcoming.  For more information contact Executive Director Jason Shelley, jshelley@aiaindiana.org, 317/634-6993. 

AIA Indiana Days at the Statehouse begin at 12 p.m. with lunch and end no later than 3 p.m.    
 
AIA Indiana Days at the Statehouse provides members an opportunity to learn about key state legislative and regulatory issues.  Members become a lobbyist for an afternoon and use their clout to directly impact the legislative process.  AIA Indiana members meet with their state legislators and discuss various issues important to architects including sustainable design, interior design registration, services tax, etc. 

A unified voice is vital.  Don’t wait to get involved!

Interior Design .....

(March 7, 2008) An interior design registration veto override attempt failed 15-31 in the Indiana General Assembly! Thank you to all who contacted their state senator. Your clout and influence made a difference!!

SB 490 (2007) last session's interior design registration bill vetoed by the Governor in a very strongly worded message, was posted to be considered for a veto override by the Indiana Senate. The veto override effort was surprising considering the fact Gov. Daniels’ veto message was so strong and that other much more important issues (property taxes) are still being debated.
