Each year the AIA nominates 10-15 practitioners to serve as AIA representatives on National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) school visits.
Nominations are for a four year term, 2013-2016, and AIA representatives may be scheduled for up to one school visit per year. 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 5-day period from Saturday–Wednesday and are generally planned during the months of February and March each year. NAAB is responsible for scheduling team visits. Team member expenses are reimbursed. In order to be eligible to be assigned to a visiting team, nominees must complete the online training and the face-to-face workshop. The NAAB provides workshops 3-4 times each year usually in conjunction with collateral annual meetings. The AIA encourages members who apply to plan to attend the AIA Convention in Washington DC to attend the face-to-face training which will take place on Wednesday, May 16, 2012. Travel expenses for attending the training workshop are the responsibility of the nominated member
If you would like to be considered, please submit a letter of interest and one-page resume no later than March 1 to Suzanna Wight Kelley, AIA at suzannakelley@aia.org.
