Learn More and Nominate a Member

The Virginia Chapter Fellows Committee will review all nominations in September and will contact members selected to move forward in early October. Our review will seek to identify those members whom we feel can make the case for their impact in the profession, and who therefore, will have the greatest success in meeting the Fellowship criteria. If selected, you’ll be paired with a mentor (an existing Chapter Fellow) who will support you through the preparation of the full nomination materials. Final submissions to the National ASLA Council of Fellows are due February 28, 2027.
