Reposted from the AIA Center for Emerging Professionals
In order to foster Emerging Professionals’ success; increase professional enthusiasm; attract and retain talented, diverse and committed architects; and perpetuate a thriving profession, AIA and the Young Architects Forum are sponsoring the development of a new, easy-to-participate webinar series to foster mentoring in the profession.
The mentoring program is directed to firm and organization leaders, unlicensed professionals, young architects, and current and potential trainers and mentors to help them understand what mentoring is and how to establish successful mentoring programs. The program will provide established practitioners with the skills and tools to act as mentors and career coaches to young licensed professionals and unlicensed interns.
The program comprises an initial series of four 90-minute web-based seminars covering four topics:
1. Getting work. PDF Flyer
2. Operating profitably.
3. Doing good work.
4. Talent and culture.
Each webinar will help mentors and mentees deal with a topic, rather than train on the topic itself. The emphasis is to guide mentors and mentees to help mentees acquire skills and shape a career path that is consistent with their interests and career goals while also being consistent with the needs and goals of the firms in which they are members.

In the residential sector, a building that produces as much energy as it consumes, or a Net Zero Energy (NZE) Building, is increasingly technologically viable. Yet, to achieve true scalability, these high-quality, efficient and architecturally advanced buildings must be coupled with affordability.
Completed nominations and applications are due Friday, April 8, 2011, 5:00 pm EDT
The AIA Center for Emerging Professionals has opened the nominations for the 2011 AIA/NAC Jason Pettigrew Memorial ARE Scholarship. The NAC established this scholarship in honor of late friend and colleague Jason Pettigrew, who was committed to professional development and community service. The scholarship recognizes the significant contributions of interns at early stages in their careers and encourages them to complete the licensure process by defraying costs associated with the Architect Registration Examination (ARE).
To be eligible, a nominee must be an Associate AIA member, an NCARB Record holder, or a person who has passed one or more divisions of the ARE but has not passed all divisions.
For full eligibility rules, award criteria, and application procedures, visit the scholarship Web page. A committee of distinguished professionals will select the recipients, who will be honored at the Emerging Professionals Reception at the AIA National Convention in New Orleans.
Jason dedicated much of his time towards the development and growth of others and was committed to community and professional service through the AIA. He touched many lives through his engagement and AIA leadership roles at the local, state, and national levels. As a member of the first NAC Executive Committee, Jason was instrumental in the formation of the NAC. He also served multiple years as an intern representative to the IDP Coordinating Committee and contributed to the development of the AIA Emerging Professionals Companion released in 2004.
To learn more about Jason, or to make a donation to the Jason Pettigrew Memorial Fund, visit NAC Jason Pettigrew Memorial page and watch Remembering Jason Pettigrew, a video produced by the AIA.
