Dues Payment Plan is Back!  

The Membership Dues Payment Plan is available to new, renewing, and rejoining members, regardless of categories--at no additional cost! Enrollment is open October 1 through April 30.

How it works
  • Log-in to renew.aia.org to view your open invoice. 
  • When you select the Membership Dues Payment Plan your national, state, and local dues (as applicable) are divided into six equal monthly payments. Shorter or longer schedules are not available.
  • The first payment is due at enrollment, and the remaining installments are automatically processed on the last business day of each month.
  • Payments are made via electronic check (ACH) from a U.S.-based bank account (international bank accounts aren’t supported).

After February if you have not renewed you loose your AIA Benefits.
