AIA membership renewal invoicing for 2007 dues begins in earnest this month. Accuracy of member contact information is an important component of the process. Unfortunately, no one-step program exists to check or correct every necessary channel of contact, thereby making assistance from members essential.
All of the following items need attention when contact information changes. (For members belonging only to AIA Continental Europe, only the second two need attention.)
Notes: The system is best served if one uses the same email address for AIA National, AIA Continental Europe mailing lists and AIA Continental Europe contact data. The Chapter database email list is checked occasionally against the mailing lists but relying on any random check would result in missed communications. Members are encouraged to review their contact data at any time through the member finder.

In the early 20th century, members of the Washington, DC chapter of the American Institute of Architects paid an annual visit to the grave of a European colleague whom they regarded as “a designer of refined taste and with a considerable measure of originality who preserved until his death the respect and esteem of the principal men of his time.”
— Francis P. Sullivan AIA in Mount Olivet Cemetery, Washington DC, December 1929, at the grave of James Hoban (1758-1831), designer and builder of The White HouseIt's time to honor him again — and to celebrate the contribution of all architects born or educated outside their country of current or major professional endeavour.
As an American architect in Europe, or as a European-born or based architect with ties of education, experience, interest or influence to the United States, we believe that the inaugural Hoban commemoration event will provide a unique perspective on the history of American architecture and its European roots.
It will also give you the opportunity to enjoy a long week-end in one of Europe's most beguiling and rewarding environments, where hospitality, heritage and cosmopolitan creativity have come together to provide the perfect background for relaxation, inspiration and learning.
The Hoban Commemoration Program has the full support of the American Institute of Architects and is eligible for the claiming of continuing education credits.
