Where does the AIA stand compared to other design and construction associations?

2011-2012 Association PAC Receipts: Design & Construction Industry  

     

Back in 2001, someone told the ArchiPAC Chair that the chicken farmers raised more money for their PAC than the architects. And thus began an ongoing comparison between the two industries. Unfortunately, in 2010, they beat us again. However, in the 2011-2012 election cycle, we have already raised $25,000 more than the chicken farmers. There is still 8 months left.  Keep us ahead of the game by making a contribution today!
