(3) Coordinating the building industry and the profession of architecture through leadership in the AIA and other related professional organizations.
(4) Advancing the living standards of people through an improved environment.
(5) Making the profession of ever-increasing service to society.
A list of the 116 new fellows, including the category in which they were nominated and their local AIA component, follows. An investiture ceremony for the 2008 Fellows will be held 4:00 p.m., Friday, May 16, at Boston’s Old South Church, during the 2008 AIA National Convention.
