ÌÇÐÄvlog’s work is guided by its strategic plan, most recently revised by the Board in 2025. The new strategic plan emphasizes two strategic commitments: building a Strong Field and providing an enriching and inclusive professional home for architectural educatorsÌý

The charges of the three Program Committees are as follows. Members are encouraged to follow the links to review more information on outcomes of this work.

In 2026-27, the committee will continue to work on supporting the Academy for Public Scholarship in the Built Environment with the aim of developing our members’ capacity to disseminate the products of their work.
