Fellowship demographics

AIA Fellows demographics 

AIA Fellows are recognized with AIA’s highest membership honor for their exceptional work and contributions to architecture and society. Only 3% of AIA members have this distinction. 

Fellowship demographic information for submissions and elevated candidates, including ethnicity, gender, and location, is now shared as part of the Membership Demographics Report, beginning with the 2022 report. You can still see Fellowship data for prior years below.

Key findings in this report are a benchmark. The data presented in this report is accurate to the best of our ability at the time of publication. Context and language evolve over time—some definitions that have been used in the past are no longer in use or have been expanded. The definitions related to gender identity and expression and race and/or ethnicity will undoubtedly continue to evolve, be replaced, or become obsolete.

Help AIA show demographic trends

AIA is committed to equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging within the profession. To track demographic changes in the profession, members are encouraged to update their member profiles and voluntarily self-report their demographic data, which impacts our ability to show trends.
