I love this thread.
I’d want to see some accreditation, come with the membership or to get the membership. AIA seems to stress this and people respect architects for passing a test and all that, Engineers too. I like local informal things, and fun get together deals as well. My local AIGA chapter has fun things all the time, and people come to them. I try to do that and they tend to fall flat, and I really don’t know why. I use to host get together’s in school and had really good turn outs all the time.
When I think about IDSA National it’s like a cloud and I can see a few things in the mist, but I cannot figure out what is wrong. However I know something is not working (other then the website…). the new site is better.
