AIA 2008 Compensation Survey

Need up-to-date salary information? Participate in the 2008 AIA Compensation Survey! It has been almost three years since the AIA published the 2005 AIA Compensation Survey Report, an industry standard, and the most comprehensive national survey on architect compensation. The new 2008 survey will provide compensation data for 42 positions at architecture firms, all nine regions of the country, plus many states and metro areas.

To thank you for your participation, you will receive a complimentary PDF copy of the complete survey report when it is released. Because only a limited number of firms can be directly contacted, your reply is vital for the success of this study. If you have received an invitation to participate, please be sure to submit your response by the deadline. If you are a firm leader who has not received an invitation and would like to participate, please send an email to Dick Rogers at aiahelp@readexresearch.com. We thank you in advance for your participation.
