Nurturing productive local level committees and facilitating cross pollination of ideas, resources, education and energy nationally. Bridging the gap between the Student Organised Network for Architecture (SONA) and established professional Institute members. Encouraging Institute membership, engendering within graduates and emerging architects a sense of belonging to the Institute, and providing a platform for graduates to ‘merge’ into the profession with local and national support. Initiating and developing inspiring and relevant opportunities for all emerging architects and graduates. Developing new and building upon existing relationships with other young professional groups in Australia such as Young Engineers Australia (YEA) and Young Planners (YP) both on a local and national level for the benefit the broader professional demographic. Establishing and strengthening relationships with emerging architect and graduate groups within International architectural institutes such as the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), American Institute of Architects (AIA) & New Zealand Institute of Architects (NZIA) for the purpose of cultural exchange, idea sharing and opportunity generation.
