Purpose:

This AIA Salem policy is intended to help maintain website quality and legality, as well as equity among member firms. Additionally, it intended to limit how much and how often the website is modified to keep the work of our volunteer committee members within reason.

Home/Opening Page:

The image slider on the homepage is reserved for Firm or Sole Practitioner profiles only. Other projects or posts will show up below according to their posting date. Each Firm or practitioner will be represented once in the slider.

You may email in an updated profile with images ONCE bi-monthly with images at a pixel size of 640w x 290h…and a web resolution of 72dpi (no more than 100dpi) to be put in the slide show in the header. If there is more than one image, please indicate which one you would like featured.

A good faith effort will be made to revise the lineup on the dates below. Order will be determined by a random drawing of names.

The deadline schedule for image submission is as follows:

  • Feb 15th
  • April 15th
  • June 15th
  • August 15th
  • October 15th
  • December 15th

It is assumed that if you do not submit, the current image will remain in place.

Other Posts & Information:

Announcements and postings should be sent to one of the web committee members and they will post to the site if it meets the standards of relating to the profession mainly in the Salem area proper.

Calendar events can also be submitted, please include a summary of your event and all pertinent details. Events must be open to the entire membership.

Member or firm contact information can be updated at any time.

No firm advertisements will be accepted.
