There are several events in a given year that are only for fellows, so a big part of it is having access now to this new group of peers who are doing incredible things in the industry. Only 3 percent of the membership ultimately become a fellow. I think the primary significance is that it’s the highest membership honor in the AIA and a recognition of a significant contribution to the practice. Can you tell us a little bit about what this honor means? We recently learned that you’re to be appointed to the 2020 class of AIA’s prestigious College of Fellows - Congratulations! "With this impressive achievement, Holly raises the bar for all of us at IA," reflects IA Co-CEO and President Tom Powers.Īs a part of IA’s celebration of her accomplishment, which coincides with our focus on women's history month, we sat down with Holly and asked her what entry into the fellowship means to her and what we can expect in the future. An honor that only 3 percent of AIA members ever achieve, this accomplishment has been celebrated both inside and outside the firm. Holly is known for blazing trails and was an early adopter of sustainable practices in corporate interiors, so this wasn’t a total surprise to many who know her. On Valentine's Day, two short weeks before Women's History Month, IA Managing Director Holly Briggs, FAIA, LEED AP BD+C, received the news that she would be inducted into the AIA College of Fellows this coming May.
