The American Institute of Architects has been represented in Hawai‘i since 1926.

AIA has three organizations in Hawaii representing the interests of members and the public on state and local/county issues (AIA Hawaii State Council, AIA Honolulu, and AIA Maui). Statewide, architects are served by the AIA Hawaii State Council (HSC).

AIA Hawaii State Council

The HSC represents AIA members on matters of state-wide interest and provides assistance and advice to state, governmental, and regulatory bodies regarding issues affecting the profession and practice of architecture in Hawaii.

The HSC has organized four committees to work on legislative and regulatory subjects on behalf of all Hawaii's architects. Each committee has an agenda that matches current state legislative and regulatory issues monitored by AIA as a government advocacy service to members.
