AIA Long Island is launching the 2021 Emerging Professional Friendly Firm Program. All architecture firms that have an office in Long Island and are AIA member firms are eligible to apply.
An Emerging Professional (EP) is defined by the AIA as a student, recent graduate or architect licensed within the last 10 years. Please include part time and full-time staff in your responses in the survey.
This award is being sponsored by the AIA LI Emerging Professionals Committee (LIEPC). The LIEPC committee will review survey responses and award ‘Emerging Professional Friendly’ status to firms who display an outstanding commitment to the development of their Emerging Professional staff. This is an excellent opportunity for firms based on Long Island to showcase their commitment to Emerging Professionals. There is no charge to apply, only each firm’s pledge of dedication toward this effort.
Information on how to apply:
The firm applying for the program will have to complete a survey. The survey must be signed by a firm’s Principal and an Emerging Professional.
Firms meeting the qualifications for this award will be notified by email and will be asked to provide their firm logo to be featured on AIA Long Island’s website. The AIA Long Island Emerging Professional Friendly Firm credential is valid for one year, after which firms will be able to reapply for their annual designation.
Firms will receive award recognition at the AIA Long Island end of the year event on Thursday, December 16, 2021. Registration is required to attend this event. Look for additional information coming soon!
Instructions:
At least one Emerging Professional and at least one firm principal should fill out the survey together. The Emerging Professional should have a strong understanding of firm policies and a working knowledge of their peers status with NCARB’s AXP program. The following questions are intended to be the framework and documentation of that conversation. Please allow one hour to complete the survey.
In order for the survey results to be valid, one firm principal and one Emerging Professional will provide their contact and firm information on the end of the survey. One submission per firm.
Dates:
The survey opens on November 15, 2021 and closes on December 3, 2021 at 5:00 pm.
