AIA College of Fellows Founded in 1952, the College of Fellows is composed of members of the Institute who are elevated to Fellowship by a jury of their peers.

Foreward Avatars of Professionalism It’s an honor to part the curtains to deliver the prologue to a remarkable production. It’s also a challenge: How in a few brief paragraphs to suggest what has brought those profiled in these pages to the highest levels of achievement and honor within the profession. Best to step out of the way and get on with it; let them speak for themselves. Yet, I do have somewhat of a leg up. Over the years—first as a young architect, then as a member of the AIA Board, as editor in chief of Architectural Record, and now as the AIA’s EVP/CEO—I have had the privilege of learning from and working with a surprising number of the women and men who appear in this Directory. Of these, Norman Koonce, FAIA, and Raymond “Skipper” Post, FAIA step forward. They have pride of place because each is a recognized leader in the part of the world I come from. Like me, both served on the AIA’s national Board as Gulf States Regional Directors, which is how I came to know them. First Norman, then Skipper, were examples to follow and learn from as I charted my own path in the profession. What I saw in Norman and, later, in Skipper were leaders who showed an unflagging generosity. Both exuded a confident but open demeanor that welcomed me and other young architects into an ever-widening circle of professional colleagues and friends. But the lessons learned went even deeper than that. The way Norman and Skipper met the world, how they carried themselves, and their confidence that architects could make a positive difference was a model of what I wanted to become. I looked up to both as avatars of professionalism. Still do. The more I thought about this as I sat down to write, the more it became clear that for all their differences—and they are different—the men and women profiled in this book in fact share these same traits: confidence, an openness, a willingness to meet the world coupled with a quality of will or force to get things done—all these plus generosity to what we now call “emerging professionals.” What you are about to read in the pages is a history, yes, but more than that, it’s a primer for the young women and men who would be architects. Read it to be inspired. Read it for the qualities of dedicated, mentoring leadership that shaped me as a young architect. Then forge your own path as you are transformed and help to transform this amazing profession.

The Former Chancellors of the AIA College of Fellows | 2019
Preface
Being asked to write a preface for almost anything is an honor, but to be asked to do so for this latest edition of the Directory of Former Chancellors of the AIA College of Fellows rises to another level. Fellowship by itself is one of the most significant accolades an architect might receive during his or her career as it indicates recognition of having made a difference in our illustrious profession. And to have further served as a Chancellor of the College places one amidst those who have sought to lead it into even greater areas of service. The stories of those who follow indicate the highest qualities of interest and leadership not only in their profession, but in their communities, their schools and their country. They serve as beacons of inspiration to all who value the ideals of service.
