AIA Northern Indiana serves members residing in the north-central and northwest areas of the state, including Warsaw, South Bend/Mishawaka, and the Indiana metropolitan areas of Chicago. An active group, this Section has recently engaged younger members and now has a thriving Young Architects Forum (YAF NI). Meeting monthly this Section’s membership enjoys building tours, lunch and learns and the occasional cookout. Fans of the minor league South Bend Cubs, the Northern Indiana Section consistently plans an event at the ball field to root the team on.
