Call for Participation: NAAB School Visits
Applications due February 29
Summary: Each
year, the AIA nominates 10 practitioners to serve as AIA representatives
on National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) school visits.
Nominations are for a four-year term, 2008–2011, and AIA representatives
may be scheduled for up to one school visit per year. If you have
an appreciation of architecture education and would like to be involved
in the accreditation process, submit a letter of interest and one-page
resume no later than February 29 to
the Institute’s director of education, Catherine
Roussel, AIA, croussel@aia.org.
To learn more about the accreditation of architecture schools,
attend the NAAB Visiting Team Member Training on Friday, May 16,
4:00 pm–5:30 p.m., at the AIA National Convention in Boston. Nominees,
who will be notified of their nomination in March, are encouraged
to participate in the training and will be offered a complimentary
convention registration and a stipend to defray travel and lodging
expenses.
The AIA seeks members with a range of experience from various
geographic locations to serve on visiting teams along with representatives
of AIAS, ACSA, and NCARB. Spanish-speaking practitioners are needed
and diversity among team members is desired. School visits are
over a five-day period (Saturday–Wednesday) and generally are planned—by
NAAB—during the months of February and March each year. Team
member expenses are reimbursed.
