AIA PF chapter's Emerging Professionals Group takes on the mission of the Triangle Young Architects Forum; established in 2000 to provide an opportunity for young professionals and interns to become active participants in the profession. It provides various outlets and activities, both professional and social, where young architects (those licensed less than 10 years) can get together and discuss topics of interest to each other and provides a network within the architectural community to tackle issues that concern them.

With a proclaimed focus on service and the goal of "handling problems in zoning, civic buildings [and] schools" the Chapter began its existence. Over the next 66 years this Chapter has consistently honored these early goals by continuing to:* Honor our own with Design Awards for the best architectural design accomplished by its members. * Sponsor community service programs in support of the schools in our Communities * Sponsor members as Fellows, FAIA, in recognition of outstanding service to the profession and the Community. * Be recognized in the greater Los Angeles area for outstanding architectural license preparation seminars* Honor architectural students for significant and creative student work and foster close relationships with architecture schools* Award student scholarships in the name of Jean Roth Driskel, FAIA. (Ms Driskel began her practice in Pasadena in 1949 and was influential throughout the State in affairs of the profession and particularly in the development of the role of the woman architect. Her legacy lives on in the scholarship founded in her name.)* Create effective avenues of public outreach by fostering a network of connections among the AIA and industry, business and potential client referrals * Participate in civic partnerships through participation in workshops and task forces organized to address planning and design issues* Present programs, seminars and workshops on topics that advance the knowledge and skills of our members* For 63 years, AIAPF has honored its mandated responsibility to its members, the community, the profession and to nurturing the architects of the future. This commitment continues to forge the future trajectory of this dynamic group of architects.
