ABOUT AIA FORT WAYNE

AIA Fort Wayne is the voice of the Architecture profession in the Northeast corner of the Hoosier state. This Section of AIA Indiana has an active YAF group and has monthly meetings, programs and building tours. Representing 9 of the state’s 92 counties this Section’s membership largely calls the Fort Wayne metro area home. The Section’s golf outing is always a member favorite and has for years been a sold-out event.
