The American Institute of Architects College of Fellows 2019 Regional Representative WELCOME PACKET The American Institute of Architects 1735 New York Ave NW Washington, DC 20006-5292
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. Fellowship is one of the highest honors the AIA can bestow upon a member. Elevation to Fellowship not only recognizes the achievement of the architect as an individual, but also elevates before the public and the profession those architects who have made significant contributions to architecture and to society.
Welcome On behalf of the AIA College of Fellows Executive Committee (ExCom), I would like to congratulate you on your new position as a College of Fellows Regional Representative and welcome you to the leadership of the College. You’ve accepted a wonderful opportunity to be a part of the COF leadership, representing our members in your region. The Executive Committee is excited you will be joining us in advocating for the needs and interests of our members and the emerging professionals we mentor. You will fill this Regional Representative (RR) position for three (3) calendar years. Many former Representatives have found that it takes several months to get up to speed on the RR program, our structure nationally, and what has been done in our regions to date. It for this reason that this Tool Kit has been developed. It may not answer all of your questions, but it should provide you with a more comprehensive understanding of the College including it’s missions, objectives and messaging. Your role as a conduit between the COF ExCom and your region is vital to our shared success by providing opportunities and information to our constituents. Your position allows the COF to collect information on successful programs in your region that can be shared with others while providing for continuous contact with regional leadership, and assists the COF in publicizing the communicating the actions of our leadership around the world. Your active participation in our meetings, communications, and events is critical to our success, and for that we thank you in advance. Perhaps the most important rule of thumb when serving as a Regional Representative is to speak up. You are representing a significant portion of the COF membership, and your ideas and opinions matter. If you have any questions about the COF or your position, please contact me at any time. I look forward to working with you in the coming years. Warm Regards,
Ronald Blitch, FAIA 2017-2019 National Chair
