Guidelines for Selecting New AG Members

The HRC Advisory Group seeks new members on an annual basis. For reference, the guidelines for selection are provided year-around. AIA members who elect to join the AIA/HRC will receive e-mail notice for the 2010 call.

Assumptions

An HRC Advisory Group appointment is more than the usual board position. Persons selected to this group will automatically become chair in a specified period of time (maybe less). Therefore, it is especially desirable that appointees be already recognized as effective leaders in preservation architecture and be committed to a five-year term of activities on the Committee.

Requirements for Consideration

• Registered architect in good standing with registration boards and the American Institute of Architects.
• Commitment of a five-year term and the full realm of activities and responsibilities associated with that appointment.
• Primary Importance for Selection
• Is a historical architect actively involved in the preservation of historic buildings.
• Has held a position of upper level management (i.e. supervised personnel, prepared and managed budgets, made project decisions and set schedules.)
• Has demonstrated sustained, effective leadership in both professional practice and community service.

Secondary Importance for Selection

• Appointment would promote a balance in geographic representation.
• Appointment would provide for representation of both genders.
• Appointment would broaden racial participation.
• Appointment would broaden the professional perspective.

Other Considerations

• Has served on a committee, assisted with a conference, or performed well in some other service to the Historic Resources Committee.
• Has strong professional experience.
• Has good communication skills.
• Has experience with other preservation groups.
• Has lobbying experience on behalf of preservation.
• Has experience in a public or private preservation incentive program.
• Has juried preservation projects.
• Has made public presentations regarding preservation.
• Has professional preservation experience on a national basis.
• Has served as a reader for preservation grant program.
