    EPiC Firm Recognition

    The EPiC Firm Recognition, facilitated by the Emerging Professionals Committee (EPiC), recognizes firms for their commitment to the professional development of emerging professionals and young architects with an assessment of firm culture and support in four critical areas: (1) licensure, (2) leadership and professional development, (3) career advancement opportunity, and (4) commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion.

    To be considered for recognition, an emerging professional or young architect must nominate their firm with the completion of the assessment. A firm principal or leader identified by the emerging professional or young architect is then prompted to complete the assessment to finalize their firm’s nomination.

    *The nomination assessment is only available during the period listed above. For more information, check out the assessment preview.
