Since 1857, the AIA has represented the professional interests of America's architects. As AIA members, over 91,000 licensed architects, emerging professionals, and allied partners express their commitment to excellence in design and livability in our nation's buildings and communities. Members adhere to a code of ethics and professional conduct that assures the client, the public, and colleagues of an AIA-member architect's dedication to the highest standards in professional practice. Founded in 1913 and celebrating our 100th anniversary, the AIA Columbus Chapter is one of the largest urban components of the American Institute of Architects in the Midwest with members from throughout the Central Ohio area - serving a 32-county area from Mansfield to Marietta and Columbus to Lancaster.

This interactive session features a panel of local architects and project managers who will discuss various approaches to defining scopes and educating clients to set proper project expectations. As the needs of a project evolve, so does the architects role in maintaining and managing a successful project. It is in this evolution that this session aims to create clarity and approaches to defining the architects varying roles throughout the design and construction processes. Attendees are invited to submit questions prior to the session for discussion with the panel.
