The Small Firm Exchange is an AIA Member Group that was founded in 2005 to represent the needs and concerns of all AIA members who own or work in a small firm. A small firm is defined by having 10 or fewer employees and this contingent makes up roughly 75% of all firms in the U.S. In this course you will learn more about small firm data, how the SFx is organized, initiatives it has undertaken to help small firms, and ways that you can become involved with the SFx at local, state, and national levels.
Speaker: Matthew Clapper is the Principal/Founder of MAD (Modern Architecture & Development) and UD4U, an urban design consultancy. He is a licensed Architect and holds a Master of Architecture degree from the University of Kansas, a Master of Science in Architecture and Urban Design from Columbia University in NYC, as well as an Advanced Professional Certificate in Real Estate Development from NYU and is a LEED Accredited Professional. Before starting MAD, Matthew worked in the NYC offices of Perkins Eastman and Greenberg Farrow, as well as the Paris, France, office of Ibos and Vitart. He serves on the national AIA SFx (Small Firm Exchange) Committee as the Illinois Representative and is currently its 2021 Chair. In addition to his national volunteer work, Matthew is on the local AIA Chicago Regional & Urban Design Knowledge Committee and the local SFx-Chicago group.

Join one of national AIA's 2030 Open Office Hours to ask your most pressing questions around the DDx, annual reporting, and the 2030 Commitment in general. We will start each session with a short (~15 minute) presentation and leave the remaining time to answer your questions. We encourage attendees to not only ask questions, but also respond to other attendee questions in order to create a conversation that enriches everyone on the call. While each session will include a presentation, questions asked do not need to be around that topic. Click on the sessions below to register.
Don't forget! The reporting deadline for your firm's 2021 portfolio is March 31, 2022. If you have any additional questions, please email us.
Register through the following links:
The mission of the AIA 2030 Commitment is to support the 2030 Challenge and transform the practice of architecture in a way that is holistic, firm-wide, project based, and data-driven. By prioritizing energy performance, participating firms can more easily work toward carbon neutral buildings, developments and major renovations by 2030.

Please join the EDI committee for an open meeting to learn more about the committee and how you can be involved. The committee is actively seeking new members to help us push forward with these initiatives.
Founded in 2018, the committee was created after AIA National documents were released about the status of EDI in the field of architecture. Over the past few years, the EDI Committee has been developing educational programming, the firm self-assessment tool, and now the upcoming Anti-Racism Pledge. The committee will present on their past activities, upcoming goals, and share resources from AIA.
Candidates interested in joining the committee should possess the following qualifications:
- Passionate about Equity Diversity and Inclusion
- Committed to planning and organizing meetings, programs, and initatives
