Communicating information to the public about upcoming events is one of the main goals of each Society. There are several ways that a Society can share its programming with the community. These include the distribution of flyers, a Society website, postings on social media (like Facebook and Twitter), interviews on local radio stations, spots on local television stations, and articles in local newspapers. Each year, the AIA rewards the Societies that produce the best flyer, the best website, and the most impressive publicity in local or social media with cash prizes. Full details on each contest are available below.
The AIA encourages each of its Societies to create a website that provides information about the AIA Local Society and the AIA, lists upcoming lectures and other events, and encourages people to join and get involved. The Society that has presented the best-designed website will be recognized at the Society Breakfast at the Annual Meeting. There will also be a cash prize of $100.
The website’s home page must include:
