Who We Are

The Asian American Architects and Engineers Association (AAa/e) is committed to providing a platform for empowering professionals working in the built environment in personal and professional growth, business development and networking, and leadership in our community.

AAa/e was founded by four architects and an engineer as an organization to help Asian American businesses penetrate the architectural and engineering community in southern California. Since that time, the organization has grown both physically, with increasing membership and establishment of the AAa/e Foundation, but also influentially in the community through its programs, networking opportunities, student scholarships, and community awards. The growth of our organization is the direct result of the dedication and hard work of the past Board of Directors, Advisory Council, and countless number of other volunteers who have given their vision, time and efforts through the years.

We are committed to strengthening our members visibility by providing networking opportunities with key decision makers in Los Angeles County, Orange County, Ventura County and San Diego County. In addition, we are working hard to increase our services and benefits for individual members as well as member firms.
