22. The AIA needs to make a Policy Statement on their commitment to the Residential Market. They need to make a public accountable statement, now, or simply announce that they choose to retreat from this market. At least then residential architects know where the AIA stands and can take their dollars somewhere else.

Right now the AIA gladly accepts dues from Residential Architects, yet ignores issues that are central to their practice. This is in-genuine and dishonorable. Dues are a burden on small practitioners, more so than larger commercial firms. The AIA takes that money from them with no intention to act on their issues.
