The AIA Tennessee government relations committee and staff work throughout the year to protect the profession and advocate on behalf of Tennessee architects. AIA TN’s Government Relations Committee plays a critical role in monitoring, evaluating and influencing legislation. The committee meets weekly to ensure it is operating effectively and stays ahead of the fast-paced legislative environment. The committee works to provide a timely response to legislative developments, develop strategies and collaborate and exchange ideas.
In January, the board adopted the following 2026 legislative priorities. These priorities guide our advocacy efforts and ensure the voices of our members are heard on key issues that impact the profession and aligns with AIA TN’s mission and goals.
