The 2006 Jury of Fellows from The American Institute of Architects (AIA) elevated 82 AIA members to its prestigious College of Fellows, an honor awarded to members who have made significant contributions to the profession. Additionally, the jury chose 13 individuals to receive the designation of honorary fellow.

They will receive their Fellowship medal during the Investiture of Fellows Ceremony at the AIA 2006 National Convention and Design Expo in Los Angeles. The Investiture Ceremony will be held at 3:30 p.m. on Friday, June 9, 2006, at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, designed by architect Frank Gehry, FAIA.

The Fellowship program was developed to elevate those architects who have made a significant contribution to architecture and society and who have achieved a standard of excellence in the profession. Election to fellowship not only recognizes the achievements of architects as individuals, but also their significant contribution to architecture and society on a national level.

Out of a total AIA membership of nearly 78,000, there are fewer than 2,500 distinguished with the honor of fellowship. The elevation to fellowship is conferred on architects with at least 10 years of membership in the AIA who have made significant contributions in one or more of the following nomination categories:

1. Promoted the aesthetic, scientific, and practical efficiency of the profession
2. Advanced the science and art of planning and building by advancing the standards of architectural education, training and practice
3. Coordinated the building industry and the profession of architecture through leadership in the AIA and other related professional organizations
4. Advanced the living standards of people through an improved environment
5. Made the profession of ever-increasing service to society
