“Awesome moment reflecting decades of determination, talent and mentorship.”
William de St. Aubin, CEO Sizemore Group
Sizemore Group is proud to announce that Sizemore Group President Lily del Berrios, FAIA, LEED AP BD+C, from the AIA Atlanta Chapter, is part of the new Fellows Class of 2024 based on this contribution. AIA Fellows are recognized with the AIA’s highest membership honor for their exceptional work and contributions to architecture and society. Architects who have made significant contributions to the profession and society and who exemplify architectural excellence can become a member of the AIA College of Fellows. Only 3 percent of the AIA members across the nation have this distinction. AIA Georgia boasts over 60 outstanding Fellows among its membership scattered across the State.
“I would like to call attention to Lily’s broader role as an architect, helping to lead and inform master planning work. Her experience and training provide considerable insight into realities which planners typically only deal with from afar. She has therefore helped to advance and enrich the work of other design professionals, and this contribution was only possible because of her unique combination of training, talent, wisdom, and compassion.” – Gregory Janks, Co-founder, Dumont Janks
To be selected for this honor, AIA architect members must have been in good standing and completed 10 cumulative years as an AIA architect member. They also must have demonstrated outstanding achievements in one out six objects. Lily focused on Object Two: To advance the science and art of planning and building by advancing the standards of the practice.
Lily will present highlights of her Investiture Day experience with other Fellow members at the next AIA/Georgia Fellows Meeting on August 23.
