Is your firm engaging and fostering Emerging Professionals? The American Institute of Architects defines Emerging Professionals as architecture graduates pursuing licensure and architects licensed within the last 10 years.
This recognition gives AIA Pennsylvania members the chance to assess and bestow their firms with the “EPiC Firm” designation. To be eligible for this designation, an emerging professional and a firm principal from each firm took the time to complete an assessment that provided checkpoints for three critical areas of Emerging Professional development: The Architectural Experience Program (AXP), Leadership, and Support.
