chapter’s fall home tour event as a catalyst, CRAN will
assemble 15-20 residential architects interested adapting the
promotion techniques employed by AIA Minnesota and other active
components to their local chapter.
AIA funding is available to subsidize the cost of attendance for
10-12 participants. Prospective attendees must complete a brief
