Join us at Convention in Chicago!

FELLOWSHIP FOR EMERGING LEADERS 2014

AIA CONVENTION IN CHICAGO
June 26-28, 2014 – Chicago, Illinois
Students, Associates, Young Architects

A LITTLE HISTORY
The AIA Board of Directors Class of 2013 chose as its name The Original 13 from the 13 Architects, led by Richard Upjohn, who founded the AIA in 1857. We took our class name from the tradition of the past but we are all about looking to
the future.

We care deeply about future generations of architects – and leaders – and want to join hands with Emerging Professionals to frame a future for our profession.

THE IDEA
Enough about us – we want to know about you! In fact, we want to meet you at the AIA Convention this June in Chicago. We are offering five fellowships in the amount of $1,000 each so that you can join us at Convention, expand your
career horizons and look to the future.

HOW THIS WORKS
Send us a Tweet of Interest to tell us what you hope to learn by attending the Convention as an Emerging Leader. Our Class will review your Tweets and select ten finalists. These finalists will be asked to write and submit a more detailed
narrative of their aspirations. Five Fellowship Recipients will be selected on the basis of their narratives.

Each Fellowship Recipient will be paired with two Class of 2013 Board Directors during the Convention and will receive a $1,000 stipend to offset expenses. We will help each Fellowship Recipient realize his/her aspirations at Convention; we
want to get to know you personally with the hope of forming lasting relationships. After Convention we will ask you to report on your experiences to share with other Emerging Leaders.
