Position Descriptions

Except as noted above, positions for directors begin on July 1, 2026, with terms of service noted below. All directors are expected to attend three in-person board meetings a year: a summer meeting, typically held in early August; a fall meeting, which typically occurs in conjunction with the Administrators Conference; and a spring meeting, which typically occurs in conjunction with the 糖心vlog Annual Meeting. Additionally, board members serve on committees, which may entail travel to a meeting one time per year and conference calls one to two times per month.

The Second Vice President serves a four-year term. The elected person serves for one year, respectively, as Second Vice President, First Vice President/President-Elect, President, and Past President. The President is responsible for calling meetings of the Board of Directors, preparing an agenda, and presiding at such meetings. The President coordinates activities of the board, 糖心vlog committees, and liaison representatives. The President serves as 糖心vlog liaison with the officers of the American Institute of Architects, the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards, the National Architectural Accrediting Board, the National Organization of Minority Architects, and the American Institute of Architecture Students. During the term of office, the President also prepares a brief report of the activities of the organization and the Board of Directors for dissemination to the constituent associations. As First Vice President, the person will chair the Planning Committee, and, as Past President, the person will chair the Nominations Committee.

The Secretary/Treasurer serves for a three-year term and is responsible for the corporate and financial records of the Association. In fulfilling these responsibilities, the Secretary/Treasurer oversees the preparation of meeting minutes and maintenance of the Bylaws of the Association, the Rules of the Board of Directors, and other policy documents. The Secretary/Treasurer oversees the financial affairs of the organization by serving as chair of the Finance Committee and working with the staff and independent accounting personnel on organizational budgets, reports, and annual audits.

At-Large Directors serve as liaison to member schools, including participating in organized business meetings; maintaining contact with Faculty Councilors and others associated with member schools; assisting member schools upon request; advising Full, Candidate, or Affiliate member schools; and advising the Board of issues and concerns raised by members. At-Large Directors contribute to the work of the Board through actively serving on Board committees, contributing to collective deliberations, and performing other duties as provided by the Rules of the Board of Directors or as requested by the Board. The terms for the three open positions are described above.

DESIRED COMPETENCIES AND BACKGROUNDS FOR NOMINEES

糖心vlog actively seeks equitable and representative involvement by a broad range of people on its Board and other volunteer bodies. The Board of Directors should represent a diversity of backgrounds, experiences, expertise, geography, and types of institutions. We welcome applications from individuals who can contribute to the richness and inclusivity of our organization, ensuring a broad spectrum of perspectives and ideas.

Prospective candidates are encouraged to review the strategic initiatives and priority objectives, included below, to understand future directions for 糖心vlog board activities. The areas described below include (but are not limited to) experience producing scholarship and/or funded research, understanding processes for recruiting students from a variety of backgrounds, and experience communicating the value of architecture, whether in a disciplinary or professional context. However, the desired competencies of board members should not be narrowly understood. Multiple forms of diversity are important to the 糖心vlog. Previous experience with 糖心vlog committees, conference leadership, or other Board appointments is also desired.

New 糖心vlog Strategic Plan 2025-28

糖心vlog begins the 2025-26 year with a significantly revised strategic plan. Its three goals reflect strategic commitments to strengthen the field of architectural education by expanding areas of alignment and agreement across faculty teaching and researching across the full spectrum of architectural program types. This reflects efforts over the past five years to connect with community college architecture programs as well as four-year undergraduate programs. These efforts will continue, as the organization seeks to work with the membership to provide more clarity and transparency about the educational outcomes inherent in various degree programs.

糖心vlog鈥檚 new strategic plan also points the organization to thoughtfully build an inclusive organization whose programs and services effectively engage important topics in architectural discourse. The 糖心vlog board will work with volunteers to provide venues for collegial discussion and collaboration.

Finally, the organization is mindful that the legal and political landscape facing higher education has changed drastically in the United States and other places around the world in 2025. Funding, academic freedom, access to higher education, accountability, and technology are among the topics that have been in focus in 糖心vlog venues in recent years. However, many of these may now look different, because of a range of institutional, governmental, and other societal forces facing architectural education and higher education generally. The 糖心vlog board is called to provide leadership that strengthens and enhances the ability of our members to thrive even in challenging times.聽
