Members, Associate Members & International Associate Members join AIA National, and pay National and Chapter dues to them. They assign these members to an AIA Chapter. If you live or work in Rhode Island, you would be assigned to AIA Rhode Island, and your chapter dues will be directed to the chapter.
Allied Members and Student Affiliates are AIA Rhode Island member categories. Dues are paid directly to AIA Rhode Island. There is no national membership or dues related to these categories.
Companies cannot join AIA Rhode Island as members but should consider Chapter Partnership and/or Event Sponsorship opportunities instead.
