About Us

 

The Practice Management Knowledge Community (PMKC) is charged with identifying and developing information on the business and practice of architecture for use by the profession to maintain and improve the quality of the professional and business environment. Aimed at serving the membership, the PMKC initiates programs, provides content and serves as a resource to other knowledge communities, and acts as experts on AIA Institute programs and policies that pertain to a wide variety of business practices and trends. The PMKC is also dedicated to developing new, more effective means of discovering, gathering, organizing and disseminating practice management knowledge among architects and their strategic partners.

Vision
The Practice Management Knowledge Community wants people we touch to say: “I'm delighted that easy and effective access to and sharing of practice management knowledge has improved me, my practice and my profession.”

Mission
The Practice Management Knowledge Community’s mission is to create delight as we:

  • Connect people, invigorate communities and create networks to discover, gather, organize and share knowledge in the practice of architecture
  • Continually build and improve access to practice knowledge resources and content experts 
  •  Engender trust in our communities to encourage knowledge sharing and a culture that responds to members’ changing needs
  • Facilitate people’s optimal use of resources and networks
  • Show leadership by shaping networks and change
