Washington Architectural Foundation

Board of Directors

The Foundation is governed by a 15-member Board of Directors, made up of seven architects and eight public sector members who represent the local building and development industry, local housing and social service non-profits and arts organizations.

While most programs are headed by volunteers, five staff members of the Washington Chapter of the American Institute of Architects devote a portion of their work time to the Foundation in exchange for a modest management fee to the Chapter. The Foundation's affiliation with the Washington Chapter/AIA affords it a pool of volunteer architects and other professionals who make its programming possible. In addition, public members of the Foundation frequently volunteer their skills and experience as needed.
