ASLA Fellow Nomination Process
Fellowship is among the highest honors the ASLA bestows on members and recognizes the contributions of these individuals to their profession and society at large based on their works, leadership and management, knowledge, and service. The designation of Fellow is conferred on individuals in recognition of exceptional accomplishments over a sustained period of time. Individuals considered for this distinction must be full members of ASLA in good standing for at least ten years and must be recommended to the Council of Fellows by the Executive Committee of their local chapter, the Executive Committee of the ASLA, or the Executive Committee of the Council of Fellows.
To be considered for nomination for elevation to the ASLA Council of Fellows, an individual must:
- Be a current ASLA Full Member or International Member in good standing
- Have achieved at least 10 continuous years of FULL membership at the time of nomination.
- Have demonstrated exceptional contributions over an extended period of time.
- Have made a significant positive impact on the public and the profession.
- Have received recognition for those contributions from multiple sources.
Nominations may be made in one of four categories:
Any member of ASLA may recommend another eligible ASLA member for consideration as a nominee to the groups mentioned above via written documentation highlighting the member’s accomplishments. Please remember that this is one of the highest honors for those that have made significant impact on our profession. Our chapter asks that these written requests be made to the Fellows Nomination Chair, chapter president or Trustee by October 15 each year. Nomination requests are reviewed by the Chapter Executive Board shortly thereafter and final selections notified by December 1.
Each year ASLA-NY asks 2 – 5 candidates to apply for the ASLA Council of Fellows. We assist in the application process, review final applications, and submit to National. Once applications are submitted, National will review and select top candidates in the categories of works, leadership and management, knowledge, and service. The application process is very extensive – for more detail please refer to ASLA’s website.
Please note that candidates are required to prepare the necessary forms for any of the categories. If the candidate is interested in applying for the Works category (which is the most competitive category), a PowerPoint of images is an additional requirement.
