Hello Reader,

Nominations are officially open for induction into the prestigious College of Fellows at the American Institute of Building Design (AIBD).

This is a momentous occasion that recognizes the outstanding contributions made by our members in advancing the building design profession.

To be eligible for this esteemed honor, nominees must be certified AIBD Professional Members who have made exceptional contributions to the field of building design.

These contributions can take the form of remarkable design excellence, significant educational impact, influential public service, or distinguished literary work.

It is an opportunity to celebrate those who have truly made a difference.

We encourage all members to take part in this process by either nominating deserving colleagues or putting forth their own names for consideration.

The induction of new fellows takes place annually at the AIBD summer conference awards gala, where we come together to honor and recognize their remarkable achievements.

Being a Fellow not only signifies great accomplishment but also comes with important responsibilities.

Our Fellows take on crucial roles as administrators of the Institute's scholarship programs and other vital student projects.

These initiatives include the nationally renowned "SkillsUSA" architectural drafting competition, "Design & Build Day" student conferences, student chapter grants, and numerous other outreach activities aimed at supporting and nurturing the next generation of building design professionals.

In addition to these significant responsibilities, we are thrilled to announce that the College has recently launched a new program offering professional business coaching.

This is an exciting opportunity for our Fellows to further enhance their skills and expertise in the industry.

Now is the time to seize this opportunity and acknowledge the exceptional service within our community.

To nominate a deserving colleague or even yourself, simply download the nomination form from our website at https://aibd.org/college-of-fellows/.
