Members Receives Richard Upjohn Fellowship & Louise Blanchard Bethune Fellowship
On December 9, 2016, the AIA conferred the Richard Upjohn Fellowship to Danielle Mitchell, Assoc. AIA, and the Louise Blanchard Bethune Fellowship to Louis Fung, AIA for their service on the National Board of Directors and Strategic Council, respectively.
The Richard Upjohn Fellowship Medal is presented to those members who have served the profession on the National AIA Board of Directors. The Upjohn Fellowship is named after the man who founded the New York Society of Architects in 1857 which shorted thereafter, changed names to the American Institute of Architects. The initiation of the organization was to “promote the scientific and practical perfection of its members” and “elevate the standing of the profession.”
Reserved for retiring members of the Strategic Council, the inaugural Louise Blanchard Bethune Fellowship serves to recognize their service and signify their continued commitment to the mission of the AIA and Strategic Council. The Louise Blanchard Bethune Fellowship is named for the first American woman recognized as a professional architect and the first female to be elevated to Fellowship in the AIA. An architectural vanguard, Bethune ushered in a new future for the profession and society. She challenged the status quo of the profession and set new standards for architectural practice. Congratulations to both of them from AIA Honolulu!
