In 2003, James Dinegar, American Institute Architects (AIA) Chief Operating Officer, and Vicki Allums, AIA Associate General Counsel met with Victor Perlman, ASMP legal counsel and managing director, and Eugene Mopsik, ASMP Executive Director. The purpose of the meeting was to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and approve a new permission form regarding use of photographs created by ASMP members submitted in connection with AIA's award programs. This event was the culmination of over six months of negotiations and has resulted in a new and mutually beneficial relationship between ASMP and AIA.
Together they formed a new agreement and permission form and MOU.

Other activities the AIA and ASMP work together on:
- ASMP and the ASMP Architecture Specialty Group have worked with AIA on the AIA Annual Conventions and have had booths at the conventions.
- ASMP works with the AIA in the presentation of continuing education seminars on the relationship of photographers and architects.
- ASMP and AIA have co-produced a checklist for architects to use as a guide to their business relations with ASMP photographers.
As the Vice-President of the ASMP-Kansas City/Mid-America chapter, I believe strongly in the codes of professional standards and business conduct in which the ASMP has established. I see myself as a team member of my clients, and because so much hard work has been done on both sides at the National level, I work with my clients following the framework and guidelines developed at those levels.
