Two things going on over at AIfIA.

1. There is a new survey in the works to find out about salaries. This survey is intended to gather current information about the salary and benefits of people practicing information architecture. This is a redo of the ACIA survey done a couple of years ago and we are interested in finding out how the field has changed. The questions are identical to the original survey and the team realizes that it is highly US specific and seems to leave out California as well. BUT, that said, it will glean important information for the field to see where and how we have progressed as well as if we haven't.

2. AIfIA is launching a Job Board. Here is the description:

The AIfIA Job Board serves as a clearinghouse for position postings relating to information architecture and more broadly to information design, interaction design, and HCI. The Job Board is a service for AIfIA members. AIfIA is the only professional organization solely dedicated to information architecture professionals and our membership serves as a qualified pool of candidates in this emerging field.

So if you are looking for a job or a candidate definitely check it out.
