National Associates Committee

The scholarship honors the legacy of Jason Pettigrew by recognizing 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).

This year, the jury noted that the record number of applications from impressive candidates made the selection process quite difficult.

More information about the 2011 recipients will be posted to the Jason Pettigrew page. They will also be featured in upcoming issues of AIArchitect.

At the AIA National Convention and Design Expo in New Orleans, the delegates elected the 2012 – 2013 Officers:

• 2012 AIA First Vice President/2013 President Mickey Jacob, FAIA, of AIA Tampa Bay
• Vice President Russell A. Davidson, AIA, of AIA Westchester Hudson Valley
• Vice President Debra S. Kunce, FAIA, of AIA Indianapolis
• Treasurer Gabriel Durand-Hollis, FAIA, of AIA San Antonio
