Welcome to the AIACC Academy for Emerging Professionals Website! |

Welcome to the AEP website! The AIACC Academy for Emerging Professionals has been hard at work refining its mission and getting the infrastructure in place to take things to the next level, to make the AEP an invaluable asset for Emerging Professionals in California. The AIACC has been extremely generous in both time and monetary support of the AEP, truly demonstrating that the AIACC understands the importance of attracting Emerging Professional membership and the value that Emerging Professionals bring to the organization. We have a great number of programs in place this year, some of which are expanded versions of past programs and some of which are entirely new. Most immediately, the AIACC AEP Statewide Forum is coming up on July 31st at Woodbury University in Burbank. This program will take place from 10am to 4pm and includes an amazing roster of speakers. Attendance is free and a light breakfast and lunch will be served along with an informal social gathering afterward. The Emerging Professional leader from each California AIA chapter is funded by the AIACC to travel to this event. Previously this program was only open to Associate leaders from across the state, but we’re hoping that this year will be the start of a truly unique annual gathering. Whether you are an Emerging Professional yourself or just like feeling younger for the day, come join us at Woodbury for this exciting event! To RSVP for the AEP Statewide Forum, please contact Marian Clark at (916) 642-1719 or via email at
