I could not afford the $700 a year and to keep giving up time for "Learning Units", so I gave up on them several years ago.
I still have my local chapter AIA 2000 Honor award though (small project/small budget).

In the past all the companies that I worked for pick up my AIA registration fee. With the continuing education requirements in my state it was easier for me to have the AIA keep track of my CEUs. When you pay the registration fee your are registered nationally, state and locally.
It's tough right now, in addition to being license in my state I am also NCARB certified, and a LEED Accredited Professional. I am registered with my city as an energy professional, and registered to self certify certain building for permits without having to go through the regular permitting process. But Architectural work in the city of "It's not gonna happen" is basically dead right now. If we get the Olympic nod I'm sure the architectural community will benefit greatly.
