FELLOWSHIP CANDIDATES
AIA South Carolina is once again seeking good candidates for fellowship nomination this year. Fellowship is the highest membership honor an architect member can receive. A distinguished jury of fellows bestows it on peers who have displayed the highest standards of excellence in the profession. Fellowship recognizes an AIA architect member’s significant contribution to architecture and society on a national level. Approximately 3,000 AIA members have earned the distinction of using the initials FAIA after their names. Annually, on average, an additional 120 members are added to the College of Fellows roster.
YOUNG ARCHITECTS AWARD CANDIDATES
Emerging talent deserves recognition. The AIA Young Architects Award honors individuals who have demonstrated exceptional leadership and made significant contributions to the architectural profession early in their careers. New this year, the AIASC Fellows Committee will also be providing support to candidates interested in submitting for the Young Architects Award.
