About RIA

Leadership

The Institute is led by an elected Governing Council, supported by its Trustees and run day to day by the secretariat.

Meet our Governing Council

The Council sets the direction of the Institute, oversees registration and licensing, and represents Rwandan architects nationally and abroad. Officers are elected by the membership and serve alongside their own practice.
