Both Z Smith and Lois Vitt Sale have been notified that they have been elected to the College of Fellows of the AIA, class of 2018.

Please join me in congratulating Z and Lois, and post here if you know of others who can now carry the FAIA label.

Well done guys!

I received notice yesterday of elevation to College of Fellows, too. "Please accept my resignation. I don't want to belong to any club that would have me as a member." -Groucho Marx Seriously, it's an honor to be among such esteemed colleagues. -Jim LORD AECK SARGENT ____ Jim Nicolow, AIA Principal, LEED Fellow 877-929-1400 Responsive Design LordAeckSargent.com

Jim, Z & Lois, Congratulations!!! All we deserved for sure. I too received notification yesterday that I will be elevated to the AIA College of Fellows (I guess the full list will be made official next week). It's an honor to take part of such a group of esteemed colleagues. I am looking forward to see many of you in NYC in June. Martine

I tried to respond earlier, but it didn’t seem to go through so I apologize for any duplicates. BUT I have another exciting addition to the Fellows list that needs to be shared which is that the great Rand Ekman has also been elevated to the College of Fellows! What a fantastic group and so well deserving group! Congratulations to you all.

Ok, the full list just came out. Also lurking in there is Sam Miller, who was at the first few SD Leaders Summits, before passing the baton for LMN to Kjell. Congratulations, Sam! And I want to offer a personal shout out to Joann Gonchar, even though she's not part of this group. She was an awesome ally when I was part of the GreenSource magazine team--great with geeky, technical stuff as well as design stories.
